Further details have been revealed about the upcoming Foundry Park development within Lincoln Park. Just last month, we were the first to report when initial site plans were unveiled for the Lincoln Yards replacement. Developer JDL is working with local design firm HPA on the plans, which were presented at a community meeting that also covered 1704 North Milwaukee Avenue.
A renovation permit issued for the property at 3329 North Whipple Street in Avondale will do the work normally requiring a demolition permit and permission for new construction. A three-story, three-unit residence is planned for the site, but first, the garage next door that crosses the lot line will be torn down.
Updated details have been revealed for a potential mixed-use skyscraper at 301 South Wacker Drive in The Loop. The new structure would rise on the corner of West Jackson Boulevard directly across the street from the Willis Tower, replacing the north garden of 311 Wacker. The project is being led by Texas-based developer Hines.
A vacant lot along the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chatham has a permit to erect a three-story, three-unit residential building. The permission was granted on August 28 for 8028 South Lafayette Avenue, a mid-block parcel between 80th and 81st Street. It was filed in May of this year, and was approved with a reported cost of $550,000.
Initial renderings have been revealed for the mixed-use development at 1704 North Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. Located at the corner of West Wabansia Avenue on the northern edge of the neighborhood, the project was announced via a newsletter from the Wicker Park Committee earlier this week. The developer and designer are currently unknown.
