Construction is in progress for a pair of condominiums at 1436 West School Street in Lake View. The new building replaces a multi-unit two-story home, built in 1890, that previously occupied the site. That property received its demolition permit in March and was quickly dispatched.
Just two weeks after we saw demolition work getting started at 840 West Lill Avenue in Lincoln Park, foundation work for the new building has already begun at the site. Built in 1860 and apparently torn down in about the same number of minutes, the old edifice gives way to the new 1840 West Lill, a three-story with basement, two-unit luxury condominium building designed by Michael Cox and Associates and developed by Pro-Homes.
A 2,240-square-foot single-family home at 1836 West Addison Street in North Center received a demolition permit from the City of Chicago on August 1. That clears the way for a new rental property to be built on the site. Real estate sites show the home, built in 1891, was listed in March of this year and was on the market for only 73 days. Listed for $1.1 million, it closed in June for $1,025.000.
A two-story frame residence at 1448 West Diversey Parkway in Lake View is getting two new leases on life. While many buildings its age in Chicago are being demolished, this two-unit, 143-year-old structure is not only getting rehabbed, it’s also getting a new addition.
The apartment building at 1723 South Michigan Avenue is going vertical in the South Loop. Thanks to the efforts of GC Brandts Build, with assistance from concrete contractor Goebel Forming, work on the future 12-story structure has reached the second level.
