The Chicago City Council has approved the residential at 936 W Leland Avenue in Uptown. Located near the intersection with N Sheridan Avenue, the project will be replacing a vacant lot and was announced earlier this year. Operating under West Leland Avenue LLC, the project is being developed by the site’s current owner.
Further details have been revealed for the residential development at 4920 N Sheridan Road in Uptown. Located just south of the intersection with W Argyle Street, the project would rise across from Buttercup Park. The finalized details come as developers Kenny and Andy Lau submit a zoning application with the city.
A residential development at 4907 North Paulina Street that came to light in February of this year received its new construction permit from the City of Chicago on August 27. Slated for construction is a four-story, 32-unit building from developer Hayes Properties and Dale Foster Architects. The permit, which was applied for in October of 2023, estimates construction costs at $3 million. Moments Notice Services has been hired to be the general contractor; their MNS banners hang on the construction fencing surrounding the property.
Construction is underway on a small, long-vacant lot at 1619 West Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. After receiving a permit to build on July 23, McNea and Sons Construction has blocked in the first floor of the soon-to-be three-floor building, set to hold two residential units atop ground-level retail space.
A planned renovation of the W. C. Reebie & Brother storage building at 5035 North Broadway in Uptown will include demolition of the front portion of the building. The City of Chicago issued a demolition permit for the 1920-built, George Kingsley-designed structure on August 7. While the permit does not specifically state “partial demolition,” a spokesman for TimeLine Theatre, the building’s owner, confirmed “only the front” of the building will be demolished.
