Two rows of residential buildings have begun construction, and some have topped out at their full three stories, on the city’s Near West Side. A dozen buildings are being developed here, with permits having been issued for the first eight back in August, and the final four permitted in November. Designed by Axios Architects, the project will deliver 72 dwelling units in total.
A potential groundbreaking date has been announced for the mixed-use Morgan Park Commons at 11420 S Halsted Street in Morgan Park. Sitting on the northwest corner with W 115th Street, the project will redevelop a long-vacant Jewel Osco and its parking lots. We last covered the project in 2022 when it was announced before stalling until now.
Foundation construction has begun for Fullerton Pointe, the first of two condominium buildings on Fullerton Parkway in Lincoln Park. This first iteration, permitted by the City of Chicago on November 22, is addressed as 519 West Fullerton Parkway, and will occupy the west end of the two sites. Both buildings are on a portion of the former Cenacle Retreat Center, demolished in 2022 to make way for new development. P3 Properties is the project’s developer.
Updated plans have been revealed for the upcoming mixed-use development of ‘Old Town Canvas’ at 1610 N LaSalle Drive in Old Town. Earlier this year we covered the project’s latest update as it continued to deal with the fervent opposition of a few neighbors in the surrounding high-rises, with views, density, and especially traffic as their main concerns.
Construction progress is ongoing at 1357 West Roosevelt Road on Chicago’s Near West Side. Yesterday, we checked in on progress one block east of here, at 1257 West Roosevelt. Both buildings are part of the Roosevelt Square development from Related Midwest and the Chicago Housing Authority. 1357 West Roosevelt Road was permitted for construction by the City of Chicago back in December 2022, and is not quite as far along in completion. The building is topped out, however, and most of its windows have been installed.
