The City of Chicago has issued construction permits for 1630 S Wabash Avenue, a 12-story residential building in the South Loop. Permits were issued on December 5, after a 188-day review period.
Construction has been completed on the first phase of the Kennedy Expressway renovation on the north side. Work began earlier this year in spring on the major renovation of a seven-mile stretch of the highway between W Ohio Street to the south and W Lawrence Avenue to the north. The work is being led by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and will span across three-years in total.
The Seng, a condominium development in the Near North Side’s Clybourn Corridor, recently reported contracts for over half of its 34 below-market-rate units. It is one of three buildings in the Wendelin Park master plan by Structured Development. Designed by GREC Architects, the building features a textured gray facade complemented by red metal accents.
Construction is complete for the six-story residential building at 2700 North Sheffield Avenue in Lincoln Park. Named “Sheffield of Lincoln Park,” this project is a part of a redevelopment initiative by Pihrl and the Chicago Housing Authority for the Edith Spurlock Apartment complex. The two original buildings of this complex were built in the 1960s. The new building, replacing a parking lot between the existing structures, rises to 85 feet and offers 80 apartments, bringing the complex’s total units to 485.
Embry, a 16-story condominium tower situated in the West Loop at 21 N May Street, is nearing the completion of its facade work. Sulo Development is behind the new residential high-rise, which will accommodate 58 residential spaces with sizes varying from 1,828 to 5,200 square feet. The design includes two-, three-, and four-bedroom unit configurations.
