Construction of a sales center for the 1325 West Fulton condominium development has begun on the southeast corner of Ada and Fulton Streets in the Fulton Market District. The construction permit was issued April 22 for the single-story edifice, which Sulo Development will use to market their proposed condominiums in the first of three towers at the site.
A permit was issued on May 15 to convert the former St. Cornelius Church building at 5430 West Foster Avenue in Jefferson Park into an indoor pickleball facility.

Edward Torrez of Arda Design is named as the architect of record, with Vero Design Build LLC handling general contractor duties.

Granite cladding has reached the top of the Museum Tower at the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park.

Caisson crews are back in action at the Bally’s Chicago Casino construction site in River West, and now they have a tower crane permit to work with too.

The Chicago Community Builders Collective is the official general contractor conglomerate for the casino project, though Gilbane Building Company and McHugh Concrete are named on the permit as the lead contractors.
