A three-flat has been granted permission to begin construction at 957 North Winchester Avenue in the East Village neighborhood of West Town. Permitted by the City of Chicago on January 6, the new residences will replace an empty grass lot one door south of the intersection with Augusta Boulevard.
Initial details have been revealed for the residential conversion of 309 W Washington Street in The Loop. Located on the intersection with N Franklin Street near the river, the historical building joins others across the city center in conversions as well as sits across the street from the last vacant lot within The Loop.
Construction progress at 2354 North Washtenaw Avenue in Logan Square has reached the underside of the fifth and uppermost floor, as brickwork has made its way up four floors on all sides. This is the neighbor and sibling property of 2357 North Washtenaw, which we visited Thursday. Both projects broke ground in 2024.
A demolition permit issued on January 8 by the City of Chicago will allow for the razing of a 1917-era home at 4125 North Narragansett Avenue in Portage Park and the redevelopment of the lot into a three-story, 18-unit residential building. Real estate records show the home sold for $585,000 in 2023, with developer Borter Z, Inc making the purchase and delivering plans for the new project.
Plans are advancing to rezone a long strip of Broadway across the far north side. Led by the Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the proposal will upzone Broadway from Montrose Avenue on the south end, to Devon Avenue to the north. Plans have been presented to the local community twice already with a third meeting expected on January 30th.
