A pair of single-family residences were permitted for construction by the City of Chicago to replace a commercial greenhouse site slated for demolition in April.

Details have been revealed for the residential expansion of 458 West Dickens Avenue in Lincoln Park.

A permit was issued by the city on the final day of July to build an eight-unit residential building at 6659 South Greenwood Avenue in Woodlawn. The permit had been pending since its application in December 2023, eventually coming through 19 months later with a reported cost of $490,000. The new development replaces a vacant lot on the northeast corner of Greenwood and 67th Street.
