Concrete is poured and set for the basement of a two-story home at 1821 North Lawndale Avenue in Logan Square. MK Construction & Builders is putting up two units here that were permitted for construction back in July of 2024.
A single Additional Dwelling Unit atop a two-car garage has been permitted for construction at 2219 North Kimball Avenue in the Logan Square neighborhood. The City of Chicago gave permission for the secondary structure on January 22. It will be added to a new construction, two-unit building that received a permit of its own back in May 2022.
An opening timeline has been announced for the fully renovated Clarendon Community Center at 4501 N Clarendon Avenue in Uptown. Sitting near the intersection with W Montrose Avenue, we last covered this project in 2022 as it scored all of its $13 million in funding. Now after nearly two years in the making, the center will reopen to the public this spring.
Demolition has begun on the former discount furniture store at 1950 West Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The back wall of the structure has been broken through, allowing a clear view from the alley all the way the the front windows of the store’s showroom. Not much progress has been made, but enough to get a small excavator through the back of the building and keep the alley clear.
The City of Chicago has issued a pair of permits to build adjacent homes at 3303 and 3305 South Seeley Avenue in McKinley Park on the southwest side. Both permits were released on January 22, and they are identical. Developer and general contractor A & SL Construction will build them, at an estimated cost of $350,000 apiece.
