As a pair of demolition permits await approval, the first of three new residential buildings for the 1300 block of West Foster Avenue in Uptown has been cleared for construction. A three-story plus basement, six-unit residence was permitted by the city on April 27 for 1351 West Foster. It will be bookended by two more multi-unit buildings once demolitions are carried out.
A foundation and superstructure permit issued by the city on April 24 allows construction to begin on The Clifton, a five-story, 40-unit residential development at 4725 North Clifton Avenue in Uptown. Developer CEDARst Companies and general contractor Method Construction Services are the recipients of the permit, which entered the Chicago Data Portal on June 23 of last year.
An Uptown property we looked at earlier this month when it was permitted for demolition has now also received the go-ahead to begin new construction. On April 15, a permit was issued to start work at 4650 North Magnolia Avenue, calling for a three-story, four-unit building. Design work was performed by Stoneberg + Gross Architects and N.L.I.E. Construction will be the general contractor.
The City of Chicago issued a demolition permit for an 1890-built frame multi-unit residence at 4652 North Magnolia Avenue in Uptown on Monday, April 6. Real estate listings show the property sold in December of last year for $740,000. OG Construction services is named as the demo contractor, at a reported cost of $17,000.
The first permit has been issued to begin construction on a seven-story, 91-unit residential development on the northwest corner of North Sheridan and West Irving Park Roads in Uptown. Catapult Real Estate Solutions is the developer and recipient of the permit, which had been pending in the Chicago Data Portal since November 25 of last year. It includes a reported cost of $31.5 million, which seems more likely to be the reported cost of all construction permits rather than just the caissons.
