The Lawndale Christian Development Corporation has received permission this month to build 10 affordable single-family homes in the North Lawndale neighborhood. Eight permits were issued on June 10, one on June 9, and one on June 5. Their applications were filed between November 2024 and January of this year, and each permit shows a reported construction cost of $300,000.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the mixed-use development at 3831 W Chicago Avenue in Humboldt Park. Dubbed Humboldt Park Passive Living, the project has been in the works for a few years and is located near the intersection with N Pulaski Road. The event, held two weeks ago, was attended by the mayor and developer 548 Development.
It’s still very early in the construction progress at 4709 North Paulina Street in Uptown, but it’s already showing signs of what its renderings depicted. Masonry work on the front façade of the first floor indicates this will be bricked in as it goes up, highlighting brick and limestone markings on the courtyard-style apartment building and its west-facing bay windows.
Partial funding has been granted for the upcoming mixed-use development at 5050 S Prairie Avenue in Grand Boulevard. Located at the corner of E 51st Street, the proposal, dubbed 5050 Prairie, will replace a large vacant lot and a pair of existing commercial buildings. The funding comes from the city’s Community Development Grant.
Permission has been granted by the City of Chicago to build a three-story, three-unit residential building at 2929 West Washington Boulevard in Garfield Park. Cipher Construction LLC is named as the general contractor, and is registered to the same Oak Park address as the listed owner of the property. The application to build was filed on March 28, and it came through on May 29 with a reported construction cost of $600,000.
