Structural work has climbed to the fourth floor of 15 N Elizabeth Street, a five-story residential building near the southwest corner of West Loop. The condominum development is a collaboration between Ranquist Development Group, Jodi Development, and Campbell Coyle.
Demolition permits were recently issued for a three-story masonry building at 462 N Morgan Street in West Town. Filed under the owner Baby Grand LLC, no plans have been published as to what will replace the multi-unit residential structure. However, the parcel is currently zoned for M2-2 Light Industry District, which allows for moderate manufacturing, warehouses, as well as freight and recycling facilities. M2-2 also permits a floor area ratio of 2.2, so that any new development may have up to 2.2 times the square footage as the containing lot. Currently it is unclear if the owner plans to apply for an amendment to change the designation.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a mixed-use development at 140 N Ashland Avenue in the Near West Side. Located at the intersection of N Ashland Avenue and W Lake Street, the project site is across from Union Park. The existing structure on the lot is the current home of the Women’s Treatment Center, which will be downsizing their operations and moving out of the building. Marquette Companies is the developer behind the proposal.
Construction has topped out for 949 W Dakin Street, aka Wrigleyville Lofts, a seven-story mixed-use building underway in Lake View. Developed by Draper & Kramer, the project will house 13,000 square feet of retail, with commercial units ranging from 1,300 to 2,200 square feet. The above floors will yield 120 apartments, split between 108 one-bedrooms and 12 two-bedroom units.
Construction permits were recently issued for a three-floor residential development at 1728 W 18th Place in Heart of Chicago. Ryan Bolen is the listed occupying owner, whose plans include three total units, a rooftop deck, a rear steel porch, a basement, and a three-car concrete parking pad. The site was previously occupied by a two-story frame residential building.
