Construction progress is up to the second floor at Wicker Park Place, the latest residential project from developer/general contractor Wicker Park Apartments. Located at 1504 West Haddon Avenue, the building replaces a long-vacant surface lot along North Milwaukee Avenue between Wicker Park and Noble Square in West Town.
A second three-flat has been permitted to begin construction on an empty lot at Pershing Road and Lake Park Avenue in the Oakland Community Area. The City of Chicago issued the permit on December 31, allowing for a three-story, three-unit building at 3900 South Lake Park Avenue. On November 26, the first permit for this lot was issued for 3902 S0uth Lake Park Avenue, also a three-story, three-unit building with identical specs.
A new construction permit has been issued to build a four-story, 14-unit residential building at 1839 North Dayton Street in Lincoln Park. The development replaces a trio of residential buildings that all received demolition permits in 2023 and have since been razed. Some excavation work on the old foundations will be the next order of business before digging out the basement of the new building.
Grade-level foundation work continues to progress for the residential development at 537 West Drummond Place in Lincoln Park. Tucked in behind the recently renovated Hotel Covent on the 2600 block of North Clark Street, the seven-story, 84-unit building is replacing a surface parking lot utilized by the United States Postal Service facility next door.
The City of Chicago has issued a new construction permit to build a two-flat residence at 1650 North Mozart Street in Humboldt Park. The permit was issued on December 30 after being applied for on November 5. The address (1650) appears to be a side yard for the home at 1652 North Mozart, a two-story frame residence which listings show was built in 1894 and sold in July for $650,000. It is being razed for the new project.
