It’s time to catch up on construction progress at the North Tower at 400 Lake Shore. The build team of LR Contracting, BOWA Construction, and Goebel Forming continues to make headway on the Streeterville residential tower, with concrete and rebar still dominating the site.
Financing has been secured to kick off the construction of the residential development at 537 W Drummond Place in Lincoln Park. The project will be replacing a surface lot as the second phase of the Covent Hotel redevelopment on the corner with N Clark Street. Local developer Drummond Development is leading efforts with architecture firm Brininstool + Lynch on the design.
The Irving, a North Center residential development from Chicago-based Altitude Capital Partners, is one step closer to getting started now that demolition is complete of the small commercial plaza it’s replacing. That plaza, at 2035 West Irving Park Road, got a demolition permit on August 8 of this year, and demo contractor A.G. Coyle has cleared the site of the building. A dirt lot and empty surface parking lot are all that remain.
The mixed use development at 3318 W Montrose Avenue in Albany Park has been approved by the Chicago City Council. Sitting on the northeast corner with N Christiana Avenue, we originally covered the project nearly a year ago as details were revealed. Now developer Yuriy Chvyrenko has gained approval for their revised design.
Concrete is in the ground for the foundation of 1506 West Henderson Street, a two-unit residential development coming to Lake View. A project by developer and general contractor V & M Development, the new building will be three stories plus a basement. A private rooftop deck and a rear covered deck at the first floor indicate these units might consist of one duplex-down and one duplex-up condominiums. The architecture is by 360 Design Studio, and will include a detached two-car garage providing each unit with one parking space. The new construction permit was issued by the City Of Chicago on July 22 of this year.
