A new renovation permit has been issued an existing three-story residential building located at 5231 S Indiana Avenue in Washington Park. The project, developed by 5231 33 Indiana LLC, will involve work within all 12 units and repairing the existing porch and facade. Also within the filing, Hemal Purohit of Purohit Architects Inc is the listed architect of record.
Full details have been revealed for the six finalists of the city’s LaSalle Street Reimagined in The Loop. Announced last year the program is looking to distribute $196 million in city funds from the LaSalle Central TIF District for redevelopment projects along the street, bound by W Van Buren Street to the south and W Washington Street to the north. After receiving nine-bids for buildings who are struggling with high vacancy rates, it was narrowed down to six which were presented at a community meeting last week.
Since YIMBY’s last update, the tower crane has been installed at 1101 W Van Buren Street, a 21-story mixed-use tower gearing up to rise in West Loop. The project, developed by Tandem, will bring 298 new apartments atop retail space at the northeast corner.
Interior demolition permits have been issued as the first step in a double-restaurant renovation at 1235 W Grand Avenue in West Town. The project involves the removal of non-load bearing partitions, ceiling tiles, cabinetry, counters, and kitchen equipment as needed to prepare for the renovation and alteration of the spaces. The work will affect the basement, first floor, and second floor of the three-story brick building.
Facade work is in the final stretch for a new 43-story mixed-use tower known as “The Row,” now officially addressed as 164 N Peoria Street in Fulton Market. Developed by Related Midwest, the 495-foot-tall edifice is the West Loop’s second-ever skyscraper (above 150 meters / 492 feet in height), with the first being 727 W Madison Street, built in 2018. The $200 million project will feature 300 residential units, of which 60 will be affordable, and a 146-vehicle garage embedded within the podium.
