Plans for the two-tower development at 170 N May Street in Fulton Market are moving forward as the developer has applied for caisson permits. Bound by W Lake Street to the north, the permits are for the first phase of the project, which has seen an increase in density since it was approved by the city just around a year ago.
The concrete basement has been poured and structural steel erection has begun for the new residential building at 822 West Aldine Avenue in Lake View. Developer and general contractor MK Construction & Builders has been on site since February, when they began demolition of the 1885 home they purchased in July of last year for $1.5 million. Their permit to build new came through on February 20th, and shows a reported construction cost of $950,000.
The anticipated construction of a new residential building at 1101 West Argyle Street in Uptown can begin forthwith, as a permit has been issued by the City of Chicago. Located on the southwest corner of Argyle and Winthrop Avenue, the five-story, 16-unit development takes the place of the old Hoa Nam grocery store, which was demolished two summers ago after receiving a demolition permit in July 2023.
A new construction permit has been issued for the upcoming residential development at 2709 W Touhy Avenue in West Ridge. Located on the corner with N Washtenaw Avenue, the new structure will be replacing a vacant lot that held a one-story commercial building until recently. Efforts for the project are being led by Stak Prime LLC.
Construction progress on the residential building at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop has risen above street level. General contractor Chicago Common Partners has the Axios Architects-designed project going 3D on its way up to eight stories. The 49-unit apartment building will have 2,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, plus parking for two cars and 49 bicycles.
