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.
Progress continues on the first-floor parking level at 455 North Carpenter Street in West Town, the future 72-unit residential building from Range Group. The ground floor will include 33 parking spaces, the residential lobby, lots of bicycle storage, and a single retail space. The L-shaped structure replaces the former Allied Valve Industries building demolished this past fall from the southeast corner of Carpenter Street and Grand Avenue.
The demolition we just learned about at 2224 West Grand Avenue now has the new construction permit to go with it. Once the former Rainbow Art Co. building is removed from the site, 2234 West Grand is allowed to begin, bringing a four-story, 12-unit residential project to West Town. Panoptic Group is both the developer and the general contractor for the project.
