The Chicago Tribune Freedom Center has been scraped from the earth, but activity continues on the River West site of Bally’s Chicago Casino.

A three-story with basement, two-unit residential building has been permitted on the vacant lot at 1314 South Millard Avenue in the North Lawndale Community Area.

Updated details and a construction timeline have been revealed for the new Engineering and Science building for the University of Chicago at 5620 S Ellis Avenue in Hyde Park.

The lot at Lake Street and Desplaines Avenue in the West Loop is ready for construction of a new residential development now that the Fast Track restaurant is gone.

Up next for the property is the eight-story, 49-unit apartment building at 629 West Lake Street from Fulton Market Suites LLC, with Chicago Common Partners handling general contractor duties.
