Construction crews have reached the top floor at the corner of Haddon and Milwaukee Avenues in Wicker Park, as Wicker Park Place edges closer to topping out. The four-story with basement, 14-unit residential building from developer and general contractor Wicker Park Apartments broke ground last summer, will be addressed as 1504 West Haddon Avenue. The first residents are expected to move in this coming fall.
A permit was issued by the City of Chicago on March 19 to allow for the construction of a residential building at 1107 West Vernon Park Place in Little Italy. After waiting just a month following their application date of February 18, developer and general contractor GlobalGC Inc can get started on the four-story structure with basement that will contain three dwelling units, likely to be a pair of duplex condos and one simplex condominium.
Construction has begun on the residential development at 2234 West Grand Avenue in West Town. A demolition permit was issued for the Rainbow Art, Inc building previously on the site in late February. It was torn down very quickly, allowing developer and general contractor Panoptic Group to get started on foundation work. Construction approval was received on March 7, at a reported build cost of $6.5 million.
A Lincoln Square three-flat has topped out, barely two months after a visit in January showed site prep underway for the trio of new homes. At 2307 West Foster Avenue, DV Development, performing both developer and general contractor duties, has the building up to its final height. They received a permit to begin construction in December 2024, but demolition wasn’t permitted until January 9 of this year. With the help of demo contractor Conrad Roofing of Illinois, Inc., they got a lot done in a short period of time.
Two new construction permits were issued on March 26 by the City of Chicago allowing construction to begin on a pair of two-flats in the Woodlawn neighborhood.

The permits show an application date of June 17, 2024, and a reported construction cost of $400,000 for each building.
