Plans have been unveiled for the potential redevelopment of 1550 N Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. Located near the six-corner intersection of N Damen Avenue and W North Avenue, the project will preserve the two existing buildings, which most recently housed Lubinski Furniture on the ground floor with artist studios above.
Construction crews have reached the top floor at the corner of Haddon and Milwaukee Avenues in Wicker Park, as Wicker Park Place edges closer to topping out. The four-story with basement, 14-unit residential building from developer and general contractor Wicker Park Apartments broke ground last summer, will be addressed as 1504 West Haddon Avenue. The first residents are expected to move in this coming fall.
The residential development at 1235 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park has taken similar strides in progress as its neighbor at 1257 North Ashland just up the street. We took a look at an update Thursday on 1257; 1235 is also at grade level, and will rise the same five stories. They are both being led by Noah Properties, with Buildmax as general contractor. They got a new permit from the city to build 1235 North Ashland on February 6, showing a reported construction cost of $4 million.
Construction is underway at 1257 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park, where Noah Properties is replacing three former Mike’s Furniture buildings with a new residential development. They received a construction permit from the City of Chicago on February 7 with a reported build cost of $5.4 million. Buildmax is doing the general contracting work.
Demolition has begun on what was little more than an eyesore of a building at 1445 North Ashland Avenue in the Wicker Park/Noble Square area. What looks like a two-story structure that was never finished, or perhaps a renovation that was never completed, has finally met the proverbial wrecking ball, giving way to a new residential development on the site. A demolition permit was issued on November 20 of last year, and thanks to a Twitter user, we know that demo work got started this week.
