A demolition permit was issued last week for the removal of a two-story frame residence, located at 6114 N Paulina Street in Edgewater. The owner of the permit is listed as Paulina View LLC.
Construction is approaching full height for a 19-story mixed-use building at 210 N Aberdeen Street in Fulton Market. LG Development Group has planned the 214-foot-tall structure to be situated on an L-shaped site. This structure will feature 10,700 square feet of retail space and 363 apartment units.
Initial plans have been approved for a new program to revitalize the retail scene along LaSalle Street in The Loop. Riding the wave from the recently announced bids for the city’s LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative, the new program looks to address the vast amount of vacant retail and commercial spaces fronting the once-packed street. Introduced by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the program will tap into local TIF’s and serve the same area bound by W Washington Street to the north and W Van Buren Street to the south.
New permits were issued on Friday for an upcoming three-story masonry building located at 4611 S St. Lawrence Avenue in Grand Boulevard. The permit indicates that this project will involve three units, each outfitted with an open steel deck at the building’s rear. The floors will be connected by an egress stair that opens on a concrete patio on the ground floor. There will reportedly be a private roof deck and an accompanying three-vehicle frame garage on site. The lot is currently vacant and neighbors several recent developments.
Updated plans have been revealed for the affordable residential development at 5853 N Broadway in Edgewater. Located south of the intersection with W Thorndale Avenue and adjacent to the Broadway Armory Community Center, the new structure will replace a one-story building and its parking lot with much needed vertical density. We last covered the project in April of last year as its initial design was released, now an updated design has been made public of the proposal by Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation, with Landon Bone Baker Architects working on the new aesthetic.
