Six residential units have been permitted for a pair of lots in the 2900 block of North Elston Avenue in Avondale. After languishing in the Chicago Data Portal for 609 days, a permit for 2939 North Elston came through on July 2 with a reported cost of $2.6 million. Peegan Development Inc of Oaklawn is the developer and general contractor for the project.
A trio of demolition permits issued on July 30 allow the razing of the Torstenson Glass buildings in the 3200 block of North Sheffield Avenue in Lake View, clearing the site for residential redevelopment. 3233, 3241, and 3247 all came through together with Apex Construction Group assigned as the demo contractor. The permits each cite a reported cost of $245,000; it is presumed that is for the entire demolition project, not for each building.
A vacant parcel on West Flournoy Street in the East Garfield Park Community Area will soon host three residential units, thanks to a new construction permit issued by the city last month. After spending 91 days in the Chicago Data Portal, 3041 West Flournoy is now permitted for a three-story, three-unit building with three surface parking spaces. A two-story wood porch will be built on the back of the homes, and wood and wrought iron fences will surround the lot.
A 1905-built greystone at 1325 West Cornelia Avenue just off the Southport Corridor in Lake View has been demolished, to be replaced by a two-unit building.

Carlos Group was the demo contractor, at a reported cost of $20,000.
