A three-story, two-unit residential building has topped out just west of Wrigley Field at 1124 West Addison Street in Wrigleyville. G Alan Development Group removed a single-family home from the site in the winter after receiving a demolition permit for the two-story structure in November. That was followed up by the new construction permit, which was issued February 5th with a reported construction cost of an even $1 million.
A new permit was issued by the city on February 26 to build a new multi-unit residence at 1355 West 16th Street in Pilsen. The home it replaces was empty and being renovated when it was destroyed by fire on April 17 of last year. The same fire also damaged the residences on either side; both have since been issued permission to remedy the damage.
A renovation permit was issued by the city on January 7 allowing for major changes to a multi-unit residence at 2049 North Kedzie Avenue in the Palmer Square neighborhood. Real estate records show the 1896-built residence sold in June of last year for $770,000 to an LLC registered in Grandville, Michigan, and now that new owner has plans to add more units.
A new construction permit has been issued for the property at 3456 North Claremont Avenue in North Center. Located on the southwest corner of Claremont and Cornelia Avenues, the new build takes the place of a two-story frame residence torn down in December. That home, which real estate records show was built in 1890, sold in August for $625,000.
Excavation work is underway for the basement of a two-flat being constructed at 4243 North Damen Avenue in the North Center neighborhood. The City of Chicago issued a new construction permit for the site on December 2; it calls for two residential units without specifying the number of stories in the building, stating only a height of 30 feet.
