Construction is underway on the residential replacement for a 1910-era greystone building demolished in August. At 1300 West Newport Avenue on the Southport Corridor, excavation is complete and work at the basement level is ongoing.
Plans are moving forward for the mixed-use development at 1060 West Van Buren Street in the West Loop. Sitting on the corner of South Aberdeen Street, the high-rise proposal was first revealed in the fall of 2024 but has been quiet since. That is now changing, as it is set to be reviewed by the Chicago Plan Commission later this month.
Even as some Chicagoans are still coming to grips with the demolition of a vintage church in Ravenswood, another has been slated for demolition and redevelopment. In the Logan Square neighborhood, two demolition permits were issued on October 28 to raze the closed church at 2028 North Richmond Street and its adjoining school building at 2018 North Richmond.
A demolition permit was issued October 20 for a multi-unit residence and detached garage at 2717 North Dayton Street in the Wrightwood Neighbors area of Lincoln Park. The permit names Builder Luxury as the demo contractor, at a reported cost of $20,000.
The Chicago City Council has approved the residential development at 1457 West Fillmore Street in the Near West Side. Located at the corner of South Laflin Street, the project was revealed this past August and is set to replace a parking lot in the growing neighborhood. The effort is being led by developer 4Corners LLC.
