Construction is underway for a residential project in Humboldt Park that has changed hands since its building permit was issued. At 2636 West Evergreen Avenue, three new units are on the way, more than half a decade after the building they’re replacing was permitted for demolition.
A new construction permit was issued on February 14 for the property at 1801 West Grace Street in North Center, allowing a five-story, 62-unit residential building to get underway. Led by a North Carolina LLC as developer, the new homes will be nestled between the L and Metra tracks on the south side of Grace Street, next to the small shopping plaza that includes Trader Joe’s and Pet Supplies Plus on Lincoln Avenue.
Details have been revealed for a new mixed-use development at 3122 W Belmont Avenue in Avondale. Located on the corner with the Kennedy Expressway and adjacent Metra tracks, the project will be replacing a small vacant lot with a wedged corner. Efforts for the project are being led by local developer Lukaven Development, who normally works on single-family homes.
Foundation work has started for a new residential building at 453 West Briar Place in the Lake View neighborhood. The five-story, six-unit condominium project is being built by Chicago’s GVP Development. They got a foundation permit back in November 2023, before receiving permission to complete the project in May of last year.
Funding has taken another step forward for the mixed-income development at 547 W Oak Street in the Near North Side. Sitting on the corner with N Larrabee Street, the new structure would replace a vacant lot owned by the Chicago Housing Authority within the former site of Cabrini-Green.
