An early February permit allows for the construction of three-story, three-unit residential building at 1244 South Springfield Avenue in the North Woodlawn community. A private developer registered to an address in Hoffman Estates applied for the permit on September 11 of last year, and it came through on February 4 with a reported cost of $300,000.
Three permits issued on December 30 by the City of Chicago allow a local developer to erect three-unit residential buildings in the East Garfield Park and North Lawndale Community Areas. A-Z Plus Remodeling, Inc of Austin is the owner and general contractor. All three of their permits came through with reported costs of $500,000 apiece, and all three projects will replace long-vacant lots.
A vacant corner lot on the northeast corner of West Douglas Boulevard and South Spaulding Avenue will soon be improved with a pair of two-story plus basement, two-unit residential buildings. At 3254 West Douglas in North Lawndale, a permit was issued to developer and general contractor M Street Construction of Oak Park on November 25. A second permit remains pending in the Chicago Data Portal to build next door at 3256 West Douglas.
The new construction permit issued by the City of Chicago on November 14 will plug the gap at 1631 South Trumbull Avenue in North Lawndale where a vintage greystone residence was demolished almost 20 years ago. That building, likely at least a century old at the time of its demise, was ordered torn down by the city in December 2007, with the lot sitting vacant since.
A permit was issued by the City of Chicago on November 3 to construct a three-story plus basement, three-unit residential building at 1654 South Drake Avenue in North Lawndale. And soon, pending permits will allow identical proposals to be erected on either side of it. The nine total units are under development by Westside Community Group, Inc.
