The Chicago City Council has approved the commercial development at 1675 N Elston Avenue in West Town. Located near the intersection with W Wabansia Avenue and near both Lincoln Yards and the Salt Shed, the project will reuse an existing storage building and adjacent vacant lot. Called ‘The Outset’, the music venue is being developed by a team under the name 1675 Holdings LLC with an undisclosed architect.
Approval has been granted for a construction permit for a residential development at 3947 W Dakin Street in Irving Park. The project, owned by Kiferbaum Development LLC, is set to replace a single-family house.
Wendelin Park, previously known as The Shops at Big Deahl, is now partially open to residents. This $250 million, mixed-use Clybourn Corridor project, managed by Structured Development, is adding three residential buildings to the area: Post Chicago, The Seng, and the soon-to-be-completed Foundry. These buildings, alongside a new 26,000-square-foot public park and public art installations, follow the 2021 completion of Movement Lincoln Park, the first stage of the masterplan and the tallest climbing gym in the city.
Additional funding has been announced for a new dance and community center at 5339 S State Street in Washington Park. Located just north of the intersection with E 54th Street and sandwiched between the namesake park and highway, the new facility will replace a long standing set of vacant lots owned by the city. The team behind the proposal is the Deeply Rooted Dance Company who currently operates downtown; no architect has been announced.
A conditional construction permit has been issued for a new residential development located at 3234 N Kenmore Avenue in Lake View. The project will feature a three-story, two-unit residence complete with a basement, roof deck, enclosure and pergola, rear decks, and iron and wood fences. This new development will be replacing an existing structure, as the release of the full wrecking permit is still pending. The listed owner of the project has not been disclosed in the permit documents.
