Plans have been revealed for the residential conversion of the top floor of the building at 2156 N Clybourn Avenue in Lincoln Park. Sitting on the corner with N Southport Avenue, the wedge-shaped building currently contains vacant office space on the second floor and multiple retail spots on the ground level.
Construction of a new residential development at 754 North Bishop Street is beginning to go vertical in the West Town neighborhood. Volo Holdings, named as the developer in the new construction permit issued by the City of Chicago on September 25, is erecting the building. Their subsidiary, Diamond Partnership, is listed at the general contractor. Brickwork has begun in earnest, with much of the first-floor outer shell’s masonry work now showing.

The Chicago City Council has approved the residential conversion of the existing loft building at 811 W Evergreen Avenue in the Near North Side.

Five new construction permits for single-family homes were issued by the City of Chicago over a one-week period earlier this month. Located on the site of the demolished Lincoln Park Hospital (Grant Hospital before an ownership and name change in the 1990s) at 550 West Webster Avenue, the five new homes join two others already in progress, and together they’ll form the Grant Place Residences when completed. Lincoln Park Hospital closed in 2008, and was permitted for demolition on June 6, 2012.
