A renovation project is in progress at 4311 West Maypole Avenue in West Garfield Park, with permits issued by the City of Chicago on January 8. The project will involve comprehensive interior updates to an existing two-story masonry brick building that houses two dwelling units. The project’s budget is $79,400.
A new affordable residential development at 4531 W Washington Boulevard in West Garfield Park is closer to construction with the approval of a land sale and $10 million in tax increment financing. The four-story project is a collaborative initiative between CARE Manor and National Equity Fund , aiming to redevelop seven plots. Of these, five are owned by the developer and two by the city.
Two proposals have been revealed by the Department of Planning and Development for their West Garfield Park RFQ at 3811 W Madison Street. Located on the corner with S Hamlin Boulevard and directly across the street from Garfield Park itself, the project will replace a vacant grocery store and its parking lot that were recently acquired by the city. The DPD issued the Request For Qualifications in December 2022 and has now received the two following proposals for the 1.8-acre site:
The Chicago Community Development Commission has approved the land-sale for The Sankofa Village Wellness Center at 4301-4329 W Madison Street in West Garfield Park. Located on the southwestern corner with S Kildare Avenue a few blocks west of Garfield Park itself, the proposal will replace a vacant lot and a handful of existing buildings as well. Developer The Community Builders Inc. proposed the greater Sankofa Wellness Village project last year designed by local-firm Moody Nolan.
A construction permit has been granted for a new community roller rink and plaza located at 4012 W Madison Street in West Garfield Park. This public space will be managed by the Chicago Park District and will be replacing a vacant lot that had been used as a temporary rink and plaza. The landscape architect for the project is Site Design Group.
