Initial details and a Request for Proposals (RFP) have been issued for the reimagining of the northern half of Chicago State University in Roseland. Dubbed University Village 95, the plan calls for the redevelopment of the mostly vacant areas of the campus along the south side of East 95th Street.
Foundation work is underway for a new residential development at 4309 North Lincoln Avenue in North Center. A small retail plaza on the site was torn down in the spring, but the back wall against the alley was retained. The demolition permit also called for keeping a “Flexi-Core” basement level intact. That level is difficult to discern from the sidewalk, but the rear wall was definitely left whole.
Plans have been revealed for a potential residential development at 3233 North Sheffield Avenue in Lakeview. Located just south of the intersection with West School Street, the project would replace a trio of brick-clad industrial buildings that once housed Torstenson’s Glass Factory. The effort is being led by North Park Ventures and SNS Realty Group.
Construction progress has reached the top floor for the new residential development at Clark Street and Leland Avenue in Uptown. 4713 North Clark is the work of developer and general contractor Platinum Homes of Lincoln Park. They purchased the lot on the northeast corner and tore down a Byline Bank branch that had been closed for years.
A pair of recent permits issued by the City of Chicago will allow Addition Dwelling Units for properties located in the Wicker Park and Southport Corridor neighborhoods. Chicago has been nearing a resolution to ease the process of ADU approvals, but the measure was delayed at last month’s City Council meeting.
