On Monday a demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago for the single-story commercial building at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The long-time home of a discount furniture store, the property is slated for redevelopment into a five-story, 12-unit residential building.
Potential plans have been revealed for a mixed-use development at roughly 2601 S Martin Luther King Drive in Bronzeville. Located on the corner with E 26th Street, the renderings and rough plans were revealed by local developer JC Griffin. Griffin, who has experience in smaller projects around the city, tapped Wight & Co. and Studio Barnes for the design.
Window installation has begun at 3951 North Wayne Avenue, the four-story apartment development coming to Lake View. Located next to the Lakeview Station USPS office, the project broke ground in the spring and topped out in the fall, so this milestone moves it that much closer to getting to work on interiors. This neighborhood lies between Wrigleyville to the south, and Graceland West to the north.
A new construction permit has been issued to allow for a 36-unit apartment building on the northeast corner of Clark Street and Leland Avenue in Uptown. Using the address of 4713 North Clark, the City of Chicago released the permit on January 6, 2025. The residential development replaces a single-story masonry building most recently home to Byline Bank. That structure was permitted for demolition in February 2022, then demolished in January of 2023.
Details have been revealed for the redevelopment of the St. George Church at 9546 S Ewing Avenue in East Side.
