Welcome to the countdown. Last December, we showcased Chicago’s tallest 31 buildings either in-planning or under construction. To align with New York and Philadelphia YIMBY (for all you comparison fanatics), we’re narrowing the scope for this second round to include only projects under construction. More specifically, we’ve applied the following parameters:
A permit was approved on Thursday for a new two-story commercial building to be located at 3936 N Milwaukee Avenue in the Portage Park neighborhood. The owner is listed under the name 3950 N Milwaukee Property LLC with plans that include two fully sprinklered medical offices, a new parking lot, and landscaping. The development will replace a paved lot.
Permits were approved this week for a new four-story residential building planned by Full Circle Communities Inc, located at 6009 W Lawrence Avenue in Portage Park. The developer’s plans comprise of 22 total dwellings, ground-floor amenity space, and a rear parking lot with 21 parking spaces and one loading zone. The construction is set to replace a vacant grass lot, so no additional demolition permits are needed.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a mixed-use rehabilitation at 4712 W Irving Park Road in Portage Park. Bound by N Cicero Avenue to the west and across the street from the upcoming 4747 W Irving Park Road, the project will rehabilitate and add on to an existing Sears department store which has occupied the site since 1938. The $90 million dollar rehabilitation of the historic store is being led by Six Corners Real Estate Development LLC and is part of a greater economic development effort to attract more businesses and diversify the area.
Structural work has reached full height for a new mixed-use senior living development known as Clarendale Six Corners, located at 4715 W Irving Park Road in Portage Park.
