Ryan Field, Northwestern University’s nearly 100-year-old football stadium at 1501 Central Street in Evanston, is being demolished and replaced with a new stadium. Demolition work began in February of this year, and has progressed to the point that little remains of the stadium but memories and a little bit of the press box tower.
A renovation permit has been issued for 4415-4417 North Central Park Avenue in Albany Park. The two-story building will be converted from seven to nine dwelling units by creating two new basement units under the City of Chicago’s Additional Dwelling Unit Ordinance.
Further details and a timeline have been revealed for ‘Halsted Landing’ at 700 W Chicago Avenue in River West. Located along the river just north of the upcoming casino site, the three-phase development is being presented to the Plan Commission later this month. The development is being led by developer Onni Group who is also in charge of Halsted Pointe across the river.
Demolition work is clearly evident at 100 West Randolph Street in The Loop, as the transformation of the Thompson Center for Google hits its stride. The ceremonial kickoff for the renovation took place earlier this week, but demolition work has been underway for a few weeks. Along with considerable progress at street level along the perimeter of the building, there’s also a gaping hole in the east facade of the Helmut Jahn classic in The Loop. Clark Construction is the general contractor tasked with redoing the office building so Google can move in upon rehab completion.
A new construction permit has been issued to The University of Chicago for the University’s new Cancer Center at 5654 South Drexel Avenue in Hyde Park. The permit, which was issued for 5644 South Drexel Avenue, which is a part of the larger site, is for the core and shell construction of the eight-story medical center. It was issued on May 9 under the Traditional Developer Services process.
