A South Lawndale home ordered demolished by the city more than four years ago now has a permit to build on its vacant lot. At 2327 South Homan Avenue, permission was granted on February 26 to build a three-story, three unit building. A developer identified as 2327 Homan LLC applied for the permit on August 7 of last year, and it came through with a reported cost of $300,000.
A trio of permits for the 1000 block of West Jackson Boulevard in the West Loop are a good sign that a construction start could be just around the corner for 1016 West Jackson. A 380-unit apartment tower from Mavrek Development, referenced on their website as 1000 West Jackson, was approved for the site by the Chicago Plan Commission and the City Council back in summer 2024.
Big progress continues on the residential tower at 370 North Morgan Street in the Fulton Market District as it nears its ultimate 32-story peak. Though hidden by the construction screens, it appears from the street that crews from Skender and McHugh Concrete have poured the 28th, perhaps the 29th, floor.
A local developer has received permission to build the first of two multi-unit residential buildings on the 6100 block of North Kenmore Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood. 4 Star Builders landed approval for a five-story, 40-unit project at 6143 North Kenmore Avenue on February 18. The permit, which comes with a reported cost of $5 million for the work to be done, was applied for on December 11 of last year.
Precast concrete panels along the Chicago River highlight construction progress on the new Bally’s Casino in River West. Those panels get trucked to the site and are lifted directly into place on the east wall next to the water. Architectural details in each panel mean they need to be delivered and installed in sequence, rather than cladding the façade with identical pieces.
