Leasing has begun for the new residential development dubbed ‘Straits Row’ at 633 S LaSalle Street in Printers Row. Located just south of the intersection with W Harrison Street, the new mid-rise replaced an empty lot across from the back of LaSalle Street Station. The project was led by Singapore-based Q Investment Partners and Melrose Ascension Capital.
Demolition of the former Fast Track fast food restaurant is complete at Lake Street and Des Plaines Avenue in the West Loop. Single-story buildings aren’t expected to take much time to tear down, and once this one got started, is was over in a hurry. With the site clear, construction can begin for the eight-story, 49-unit residential building taking its place.
A demolition permit issued January 14 for a single-family residence at 2847 North Damen Avenue in North Center paves the way for a three-unit building to take its place. The home, which real estate records indicate was built in the late 1890s, hasn’t sold since being purchased in 2014 for $500,000. It appears those buyers, under the entity of 2847 N Damen LLC, are the ones looking to triple the density of the site.
Details have been revealed for the residential development at 3819 N Kedzie Avenue in Irving Park. Located mid-block between W Byron Street and W Grace Street, the proposal will replace a pair of one-story commercial buildings. Efforts for the project are being led by Base 3 Development.
Site prep is complete, and foundation work has begun, for a new residential development on a former Byline Bank site in Uptown. Platinum Homes received a new construction permit to build at 4713 North Clark Street on January 6, and work is underway for a five-story masonry structure on the northeast corner with Leland Avenue.
