A new construction permit issued by the city allows the development of a two-story plus basement, two-unit frame residence at 2128 West Eastwood Avenue in the Ravenswood neighborhood. The permit, which comes with a reported cost of $475,000, was issued on September 10, a mere 10 days after its application start date of August 31. The entity of GL-888 LLC is named as the property owner.
A construction permit was issued on August 24 to build a five-story, 16-unit residential building at 4943 North Damen Avenue in the Ravenswood neighborhood. The new development replaces a single-story commercial structure most recently known for Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits and Over Easy breakfast and brunch spot. Monday’s fresh permit shows an application start date of January 29, coming through the portal after a 207-day wait with a reported cost of $1.9 million.
A three-unit residential building at 4928 North Damen Avenue in Ravenswood is topped out, bricked up, and close to exterior completion. Many of the windows have been installed on the south side of the structure, but sliding glass doors and windows at the front are not yet in place. Around back, windows only appear on the second floor, with ground-level and the third floor yet to be installed. None of the glass is in place for the basement level of the three-story building.
The first two single-family homes on the site of the former Ravenswood Presbyterian Church have begun construction. The only two residences approved to date, 4304 North Hermitage got permission on March 12, and 4302 North Hermitage came through on April 21. Each carries with it a reported cost of an even $1,000,000. The first permit waited in the Chicago Data Portal for 51 days from its application start date of January 20, while 4302 waited just 15 days for its permit.
Plans have been revealed for a new mixed-use development at 4730 North Clark Street on the eastern edge of Ravenswood. Located next to Chase Park and just south of the corner with West Lawrence Avenue, the project would replace a group of commercial buildings along with a small parking lot, as shown in the 47th Ward press release.
