A new RFP has been issued for a large parcel of land at roughly 1450 N Larrabee Street within Cabrini Green. Located on the intersection with N Clybourn Avenue, the wedge-shape lot had a previous proposal reviewed by the city back in 2023. However, the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) is back to the drawing board and seeking proposals for the property by this May.
The construction team of LR Contracting, BOWA Construction, and Goebel Forming jumped the tower crane at 400 Lake Shore in Streeterville this past weekend. Six new sections were delivered by truck to the site, and the erection crew placed them one at a time in the crane’s tower on Sunday. A permit allowing the crane to be tied in was issued by the city on March 10. The residential tower at 400 Lake Shore will yield 72 stories when completed.
A three-story, three-unit residential building has been permitted by the City of Chicago for the property at 2251 West 51st Street in Gage Park.

Issued on April 2, the permit names Angie Soto as the property owner, and Olabode Beckley as the architect of record. Calderon Construction & Painting Inc will be the general contractor, with the permit showing a reported construction cost of $130,000.
Initial site work is set to commence in the coming months for a new mixed-use hospital complex at 3201 W 31st Street in Little Village. Dubbed ‘Focal Point Community Campus’, the project will serve as the new home for St. Anthony hospital as its current location continues to age. Efforts are being led by the hospital and Chicago Southwest Development Corp.
The single-story masonry building at 1230 West Fulton Market has been permitted for demolition. Formerly the home of Four Star Foods, who closed up shop and moved to Heart of Chicago a few years ago, the building is on the site of the future 1200 West Fulton development from Fulton Street Companies and JDL Development. That project received approval from the Chicago Plan Commission in October of last year.
