The Lawndale Christian Development Corporation has received permission this month to build 10 affordable single-family homes in the North Lawndale neighborhood. Eight permits were issued on June 10, one on June 9, and one on June 5.

A construction permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to create a surface parking lot at 1314 South Pulaski Road in North Lawndale. The permit, which came through on March 13 following an application filed on August 6, 2024, calls for 12 parking spaces next to Work Of His Hands Ministries.
A three-story with basement, two-unit residential building has been permitted on the vacant lot at 1314 South Millard Avenue in the North Lawndale Community Area. The permit was filed on September 9 of last year, and issued by the city on February 11. It allows New Star Construction, named as the general contractor, to begin work, while estimating construction costs at $520,000.
A renovation permit issued by the city of Chicago on February 10 allows one Additional Dwelling Unit for a 1900s greystone two-flat at 1332 South Lawndale Avenue in North Lawndale. Property records show the building was sold in December of last year to Siesta Apartments, Inc., and now a third unit can be added to the two-unit property.
Funding has been secured for the second residential phase of the Ogden Commons development in North Lawndale. Located at 1312 S Talman Avenue, this would join the first residential phase directly behind it as well as the development’s first structure along W Ogden Avenue.
