Construction is underway on an eight-story, 77-unit residential building at 5035 N Sheridan Road in Uptown. Issued in September of last year, the construction permit from the City of Chicago also calls for a single retail space on the ground floor. According to plans approved by the Chicago Plan Commission in August of last year, there will be 39 parking spaces for cars and 77 spaces for bicycles.
Three single-family homes we looked at back in May on N Greenview Avenue in Uptown have topped out, and now brickwork has begun for two of them. Once the location of the First Spanish Christian Church at North Greenview and West Sunnyside, the lot created by the church’s demolition received three new construction permits in January of this year.
Additional funding has been approved by the Community Development Commission for the relocation of Double Door music venue at 1050 W Wilson Avenue in Uptown. Situated just east of the intersection with N Broadway, the establishment is relocating from its long-term home in Wicker Park. Efforts are being led by the club with local architecture firm Barker Nestor working on its design.
Updated details and alderman approval have been revealed for the residential at 936 W Leland Avenue in Uptown. Sitting near the intersection with N Sheridan Avenue, we initially covered its announcement earlier this year as it prepares to replace a vacant lot. The current property owner is leading the development efforts.
Construction progress is ongoing for Sarah’s On Lakeside, the third housing development by Sarah’s Circle. The Chicago-based non-profit provides homes for women who are experiencing homelessness. This new endeavor will mean they have provided more than 100 units for those at risk of having no roofs over their heads.
