The Chicago City Council has approved the large-scale mixed-use development at 3955 N Kilpatrick Avenue in Old Irving Park. Sitting near the six-corner intersection with W Irving Park Road, the project will replace a large vacant plot which was previously a Peoples Gas facility. Now developer GW Properties can move forward with the multi-structure proposal.
A renovation permit was issued August 1 by the city of Chicago to convert the former Mid-City Trust & Savings Bank building at 801 West Madison Street into a hotel. Built in 1912, it was designated a Chicago Landmark in 2012. Vacant since 2005, it was last occupied by MB Financial Bank.
The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use development 2033 N Kingsbury Avenue in Lincoln Park. Located on the eastern edge of Lincoln Yards right off of N Clybourn Avenue, the project will replace a vacant lot bound by curved railroad tracks to the south. Like other developments in the area, the project is being led by Sterling Bay.
Additional financing has been approved for the residential development at 547 W Oak Street in the Near North Side. Located on the intersection with N Larrabee Street, the proposal is the first phase of redeveloping a long-term vacant lot owned by the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). The project is being led by developer BDM-I LLC made up of Brinshore & The Michaels Development Corporation.
Construction appears to have halted at 1630 S Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. Located just south of the intersection with E 16th Street, we covered the project in January as crews began foundation and piling work. The proposal is being led by CMK Companies with local architecture firm Pappageorge Haymes working on its design and Clark Construction on its execution.
