Initial plans have been revealed for a new affordable residential development at 3251 West Division Street in Humboldt Park. Located at the intersection with North Spaulding Avenue, the project would replace a vacant lot just west of the neighborhood’s namesake park. The details were presented this past week at a local community meeting.
A residential lot vacated by a 2022 demolition permit will now be improved with a three-story, two-unit building at 1930 South May Street in Pilsen. Issued on December 9 of last year, the permit application shows a date of 08/14/2025, and it came through with a reported cost of $250,000.
Plans have been revealed for a residential development at 571 West Polk Street in the Near West Side. Located at the intersection with South Jefferson Street, the nearly block-long proposal would replace an existing three-story commercial building in a relatively underdeveloped area. Efforts are being led by local developer Jane Mirkhaef.
A PNC Bank branch has been permitted for construction at 5430 West Belmont Avenue on the south boundary of the Portage Park Community Area. It will be built on a surface parking lot across the street from an existing PNC Bank facility at 5455 West Belmont. That branch, due to its location on the south side of the street, is in the Belmont Cragin Community Area.
A zoning application has been submitted for the first phase of the Woodlawn Central development at 6230 South Dorchester Avenue. Located just southwest of the upcoming Obama Presidential Center, we initially covered plans for the sprawling campus exactly four years ago. The multi-site plan would replace a collection of parking lots and vacant parcels.
