Plans have been revealed and approved by the Chicago City Council for the residential redevelopment of the former Peoples Gas site at 6659 North Kedzie Avenue in West Ridge. Located on the western edge of the neighborhood along the North Shore Channel, the large L-shaped site currently contains a pair of vacant brick buildings and parking lots.
A renovation permit was issued by the City of Chicago on June 16 to add two more dwelling units to a recently completed residential building in West Ridge. 5824 North Lincoln Avenue was permitted for construction back on March 15, 2021, and completed early in 2023.
