Leasing has begun ahead of move-ins this summer for the mixed-use development at 465 North Carpenter Street in West Town. Located on the intersection with West Grand Avenue, the project has been in the works for a few years and topped out this spring ahead of initial interior work. Late last year, we were able to take a look through the construction site, found here.
A four-story residential building has topped out at 1321 North Ashland Avenue in West Town, as concrete block begins setting on the side walls for its attached garage at the alley. The brickwork on the front and side façades for the dwelling units appears to be complete, and an elevator enclosure is visible near the northeast corner of the roof top, which will also include a deck for residents. That should provide enough elevation for nice skyline views. The new construction permit allows balconies on the three upper floors; those have yet to be installed.
Details have been revealed for an upcoming mixed-use development at 2323 West Grand Avenue within West Town. Located mid-block between North Western Avenue and North Oakley Boulevard, the planned structure will replace a vacant lot commonly used for parking. The details come as the proposal also gains approval from City Council.
On the second day of June, the City of Chicago authorized the demolition of a single-story commercial building at 1332 West Grand Avenue in West Town. Home to Aya Pastry until its closing in August of last year, the site will be transformed into a new-construction residential building with ground-floor retail space. Builder Luxury is named in the demo permit as the contractor for the razing at a reported cost of $25,000.
Construction will top out soon for the residential redevelopment of the Arandas Tires & Rims shop at 1501 North Ashland Avenue in the Pulaski Park neighborhood of West Town. Block work has risen to the fifth and final floor on all four sides of the building, and textured brick covers much of the west and south façades facing Ashland Avenue and West Le Moyne Street.
