Plans have been revealed for a new affordable senior housing building at 6151 South University Avenue in Woodlawn. Located at the corner of East 62nd Street, the proposal would replace a large vacant lot owned by the project’s developer, Woodlawn Baptist Church, since 1982. The development will be known as WBC Manor.
A new permit has been issued at 1642 North Orchard Street to construct two residential units, likely condominiums, in Lincoln Park’s Old Town neighborhood. A developer under the entity of North & Orchard LLC is the recipient of the permit, which they applied for on August 7, 2025. It came through January 12 with a reported cost of $2 million.
A new development we told you about in December coming to a vacant lot on North Burling Street in Lincoln Park will, it turns out, fill more than that empty space. A demolition permit was issued on January 22 to bring down the residence and its detached garage at 1660 North Burling Street. That will allow extra space for the new condos permitted for 1658 North Burling.
Partial funding has been approved for the residential conversion and partial redevelopment of the high-rise at 30 North LaSalle Street in The Loop. Sitting on the corner of West Washington Street, the project has been in the works for a few years under the city’s LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative, with updated renderings and information revealed last spring.
A permit for new construction was issued this month by the City of Chicago to erect a residential building on the vacant lot at 2006 South Allport Street in Pilsen. The subject parcel stands on a corner site formed by the alley that connects to the rear of the property, adjacent to Perez Elementary School immediately north.
