Potential plans have been revealed for a mixed-use development at roughly 2601 S Martin Luther King Drive in Bronzeville. Located on the corner with E 26th Street, the renderings and rough plans were revealed by local developer JC Griffin. Griffin, who has experience in smaller projects around the city, tapped Wight & Co. and Studio Barnes for the design.
Window installation has begun at 3951 North Wayne Avenue, the four-story apartment development coming to Lake View. Located next to the Lakeview Station USPS office, the project broke ground in the spring and topped out in the fall, so this milestone moves it that much closer to getting to work on interiors. This neighborhood lies between Wrigleyville to the south, and Graceland West to the north.
A new construction permit has been issued to allow for a 36-unit apartment building on the northeast corner of Clark Street and Leland Avenue in Uptown. Using the address of 4713 North Clark, the City of Chicago released the permit on January 6, 2025. The residential development replaces a single-story masonry building most recently home to Byline Bank. That structure was permitted for demolition in February 2022, then demolished in January of 2023.
Plans are advancing for the mixed-use development at 801 S Western Avenue in Tri-Taylor. Sitting on the corner with W Polk Street and set to replace a surface parking lot, the project was originally announced a year ago as the area around the Illinois Medical District continues to grow. Just down the street, 701 S Western scored a demo permit to make way for another new structure.
Demolition work is complete, save for a front stoop and some foundations to be excavated, on a pair of residential buildings at 2832 and 2834 North Racine Avenue in the Lake View neighborhood. The two multi-unit residences were sold by a private seller this past summer, according to 2832-2834racine.com, a website set up for the two properties. Real estate records show the entity of 2834 Racine LLC as the buyer, who in turn is listed in both demolition permits as the property owner. Tir Conaill Concrete was assigned as the demo contractor.
