Two permits issued within a week’s time will allow a pair of projects on the same Lincoln Park block to complete large-scale renovations of existing buildings. Each includes the transformation of hospitality spaces to residential use, with one a shuttered hotel, the other Single Room Occupancy building.
Initial details have been revealed for a new residential high-rise at 1415 North Dayton Street in Lincoln Park. Located at the intersection with West Evergreen Avenue just off Halsted, the project joins several nearby proposals, including the 23-story development at 1333 N. Kingsbury Street and the 37-story tower a few blocks away at 1565 N. Clybourn Avenue.
Chicago’s loftiest tower crane has reached its full height. The long saga of 400 Lake Shore’s sixth and final tower crane jump has finally come to a safe conclusion. The last segments were lifted to the top of the tower and put in place Sunday February 1st, completing a task that began three weeks ago.
The first windows have been installed on the south end of the residential construction at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop. Soon, the palletized windows stacked just inside the outer walls will be added to the facade as well.
A community meeting has been held for a residential development proposed at 2652 West Chicago Avenue in West Town. The project would replace a vacant auto parts store and its parking lot at the corner of North Washtenaw Avenue. It was originally proposed in August of last year, but the team has now returned with three potential schemes for review.
