A permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to replace a single-family home at 1124 West Addison Street with a two-unit residential building. The permit application was filed on November 12 of last year, and was issued February 5. It names G Alan Development Group as the developer and general contractor, and estimates construction costs at an even $1 million.
The demolition of the Tribune Freedom Center has been mostly completed at 777 W Chicago Avenue in River West. Located on the corner with S Halsted Street, demolition began over six months ago on the former printing facility on the Chicago River. Replacing it will be the new Bally’s casino, hotel, and entertainment complex.
Foundations are set for a pair of single-family residences at 1835 and 1837 North Lawndale Avenue in Logan Square. MK Construction & Builders is the developer and general contractor behind the two homes. Each will be two stories plus a basement, and there will be detached two-car garages at the back of both lots, accessed from a dead-end alley.
A renovation permit was issued by the city on January 7 allowing for major changes to a multi-unit residence at 2049 North Kedzie Avenue in the Palmer Square neighborhood. Real estate records show the 1896-built residence sold in June of last year for $770,000 to an LLC registered in Grandville, Michigan, and now that new owner has plans to add more units.
Details have been revealed for a new community center at 7950 S Emerald Avenue in Auburn Gresham. Occupying a nearly half-block site bound by S Halsted Street to the west, the currently vacant lot will eventually be home to the new $8 million center. Efforts for this are being led by locals Eliseo and Valentina Pacheco-Cornejo.
