Demolition permits have been issued for the removal of a two-story multi-unit residential building located at 2651 W Cortez Street in West Town. The owner has been listed as 2651 W Cortez LLC. According to the permit, Dexco Corporation will be acting as the demolition contractor for this removal. Given the recency of permits issued, no future construction plans have yet been made public.
Construction is now fully underway for 150 E Ontario Street, the site of what will be a 28-story hotel. The Streeterville project is one of the first major high rises in years to be built in the district, whose development heyday occupied much of the 2000s and 2010s.

The parcel was previously occupied by a vacant grass lot.
A groundbreaking ceremony has been held for the mixed-use development at 757 and 838 W 79th Street in Auburn Gresham.
