Construction of a single-story standalone restaurant is nearing completion at 564 West Taylor Street in the West Loop. The corner site will be the newest Chicago location of Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, the fast-serve chain based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This property had been vacant for several years following the demolition of a deteriorated one-story masonry building.
The City of Chicago has issued two new construction permits for mixed-use buildings located at 1304 and 1320 South Ashland Avenue in Near West Side. The buildings will stand three and four stories tall, respectively, and will each contain 12 residential units and two commercial units.
Partial demolition of the former W. C. Reebie and Brother Storage building at 5035 North Broadway in Uptown has left only the rearmost portion of the structure still standing. The gutted skeleton of the five-floor building is all that remains, and even that has gaping holes in the roof and back wall, exposing it to the sky. What remains of this partial demo will be used as office spaces and to anchor the forthcoming development.
Details have been revealed for a new hotel at 3257 N Halsted Street in the heart of Northalsted, previously known as Boystown. Sitting on the intersection with W Aldine Avenue, the new structure would replace a vacant two-story commercial building and its parking lot which were previously home to Yoshi’s Cafe. At the moment, the developer is unknown.
A new construction permit has been issued for the residential building coming to 455 North Carpenter Street in West Town. Demolition of the former Allied Valve Industries facility wrapped up earlier this month, leaving a blank slate for developer Range Group to get started on their 72-unit project.
