A foundation permit for the residential building at 3627-3633 North Sheffield Avenue in Wrigleyville was added to the Chicago Date Portal on January 13. It’s the first sign of permission we’ve seen to replace the three buildings beyond the rightfield bleachers of Wrigley Field that were permitted for demolition last year.
Plans have been revealed for the first phase of a new campus for non-profit Sarah’s Circle at 4458 North Clarendon Avenue in Uptown. Bound by West Sunnyside Avenue to the north and West Agatite Avenue to the south, the future complex will replace one of the last remaining lakefront lots across the street from the newly reopened Clarendon Fieldhouse.
A demolition permit was issued by the City of Chicago on January 8 to tear down the three-story masonry building at 2355 West 63rd Street in Chicago Lawn. That permit will clear the site for the upcoming residential development from the Southwest Organizing Project (SWOP) that was granted permission for construction back in October. Taylor Excavating is named as the razing contractor, with a substantial reported cost of $331,775.
The Chicago City Council has approved plans for a mixed-use development at 4943 North Damen Avenue in Lincoln Square. Located near Winnemac Park, just south of the intersection with West Argyle Street, the project was initially proposed last summer and will replace an existing one-story commercial building.
With caisson work wrapped up, the next phase of construction has begun at 227 West Chicago Avenue in River North. Foundation work has started, concentrated at the northeast corner of the site, where the crew is excavating earth and setting piles next to the existing structure at 219 West Chicago.
