Permits have been issued for the redevelopment of the mixed-use structure at 1934 W North Avenue in Wicker Park. Sitting on the corner with N Winchester Avenue near the heart of the neighborhood, we originally covered the project last year as it was approved by the Plan Commission.
Demolition work is underway on five buildings in the 1200-block of North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park that will soon see two new residential develops begin construction. A pair of demo permits were issued about two weeks ago to get started on 16 residential units at 1235 North Ashland, followed a week later by permits to tear down three buildings standing in the way of 24 new units at 1257 North Ashland.
Three demolition permits have been issued by the City of Chicago for buildings on North Elk Grove Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood. The sites are being cleared by developer Volo Holdings so they can construct a new three-story with basement, six-unit residential property permitted for construction in November.
A pair of demolition permits issued by the City of Chicago signal the beginning of a five-story, 24-unit residential building at 1257 North Ashland Avenue in Wicker Park. The permits, issued Tuesday, January 21, are for the buildings at 1257 and 1259, with one more expected for 1301 North Ashland next door. All three were part of the Mike’s Furniture retail mega-complex. Buildmax Company is named as the demolition contractor.
Initial zoning has been approved for the residential expansion of the existing property at 1239 N Wood Street in Wicker Park. Announced several years ago, the project has faced a fair amount of scrutiny from its surrounding neighbors due to density and traffic. However, the Committee on Zoning has given the proposal the green light to be reviewed by the City Council.
