Updated renderings and plans have been revealed for the revised proposal of Old Town Canvas at 1610 N LaSalle Drive in Old Town.

A new construction permit was issued February 13 to begin work at the Malcolm X College West Side Learning Center in the Austin Community Area, just half a block west of the Garfield Park neighborhood.

With GMA Construction Group on board as the general contractor, work can now begin.
An official ribbon cutting was held yesterday for the completed first phase of Encuentro Square in Logan Square.
