Demolition of the commercial building at 424 South Wabash Avenue in The Loop is complete, with the structure razed from the site and the old foundation dug away and smoothed over. That means site prep is the next step toward the upcoming Marriott Tribute Portfolio Hotel long planned for the site.
Demolition is imminent for a single-story commercial building that used to house the Polonia Dairy Company in Ukrainian Village. A permit to construct a six-flat residential project at 903 North Winchester Avenue was issued by the city on September 16, with wrecking permission still pending.
Demolition is underway on a two-story masonry building at 917 North Franklin Street on the Near North Side. That’s the site of Phase 2 of JDL Development’s North Union project, with plans to replace the building with a 12-story, 160-foot-tall residential structure.
A permit issued Monday to the address of 1735 West Grand Avenue means the 1747 West Grand residential development is about to begin in West Town. Developer Panoptic Group applied for the permit on February 26, and it came through September 15th with an $8.685 million reported cost. Panoptic Group will also be the general contractor on the build.
A caisson permit has been issued to begin construction on a ten-story residential building at 227 West Chicago Avenue in the River North neighborhood. A stormwater management permit preceded caissons on August 25. The full building permit, applied for on April 29, remains pending in the Chicago Data Portal.
