Plans are moving forward for the residential conversion of the historic fireproof warehouse at 3240 West Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park.

The project has now received approval from local Alderwoman Rodriguez.
A small gap in the Milwaukee Avenue Street wall in Wicker Park will now be plugged, thanks to a permit issued by the city on January 21.

They filed their application on July 23 of last year, and it came through with a reported cost of $2 million.
