The Chicago City Council has approved plans for the mixed-use development at 450 N Morgan Street in West Town. Located at the corner with W Hubbard Street, just south of W Grand Avenue, YIMBY first covered the project in March when the current design was revealed. This was following a pivot from a previously planned five-story office building proposed in 2016.
A demolition permit has been issued for a modest single-story residence at 1735 West Grand Avenue in West Town. That tear down could mean construction is imminent for a 32-unit apartment building planned for the lot spanning 1735 through 1747. Two buildings that were home to the AmTab manufacturing Company next door were permitted for demolition in August 2017. Those lots have been vacant since demo work was completed.
Now that the tower crane is part of the team, construction has gone vertical at Aberdeen Crossing in West Town. Contractors Contemporary Concepts and Adjustable Concrete have risen to the second floor of the future seven-story apartment building at 1100 West Grand Avenue. Wildwood Investments is the developer here, with bKL Architecture designing the plans.
Construction has begun on the residential development at 2234 West Grand Avenue in West Town. A demolition permit was issued for the Rainbow Art, Inc building previously on the site in late February. It was torn down very quickly, allowing developer and general contractor Panoptic Group to get started on foundation work. Construction approval was received on March 7, at a reported build cost of $6.5 million.
Construction progress is nearing the underside of the second story on a residential development at 1701 West Grand Avenue in West Town. Addressed in a permit issued by the City of Chicago in November as 466 North Paulina Street, the four-story, nine-unit building is being constructed by Panoptic Group, with 1701 W Grand LLC named as the developer.
