Construction at 633 S LaSalle Street in the South Loop area has progressed, with structural work nearing the halfway mark. This 18-floor residential building, undertaken by The Collective, is being developed on a site that was formerly a surface parking lot. The design of the building is tailored for co-living, comprising 117 apartment suites with a capacity to accommodate up to 381 residents.
Initial details have been revealed for a residential development at 5451 N Ravenswood Avenue in Edgewater. Located just south of the intersection with W Catalpa Avenue, the new proposal will replace a large vacant lot at the westernmost edge of the neighborhood. Developer Sigma Builders Inc. is working with local firm IURO & Associates on its design.
Permits have been issued for a renovation project at 1550 N Lake Shore Drive in Gold Coast. The project involves replacing both the shared and private rooftop decks of the 33-story, 200-unit residential building. These renovations are significant for enhancing the outdoor spaces of the building, offering residents improved amenities and recreational areas. The building is classified under Occupancy Type R-2 and Type 1A construction, with no changes planned for its occupancy or egress.
Construction is progressing for the redevelopment of an existing church and a new addition at 1101 Church Street in Evanston. Developed as a joint venture partnership by Bob Ranquist, John Searls, and Chris Dillion, the 30-unit project incorporates the existing Sojourner Covenant Church, built in 1911 and closed in 2018. Philadelphia-based ISA is the architect behind the plan, which has been dubbed “Lodge Evanston.”
