A demolition permit issued January 14 for a single-family residence at 2847 North Damen Avenue in North Center paves the way for a three-unit building to take its place. The home, which real estate records indicate was built in the late 1890s, hasn’t sold since being purchased in 2014 for $500,000. It appears those buyers, under the entity of 2847 N Damen LLC, are the ones looking to triple the density of the site.
Details have been revealed for the residential development at 3819 N Kedzie Avenue in Irving Park. Located mid-block between W Byron Street and W Grace Street, the proposal will replace a pair of one-story commercial buildings. Efforts for the project are being led by Base 3 Development.
Site prep is complete, and foundation work has begun, for a new residential development on a former Byline Bank site in Uptown. Platinum Homes received a new construction permit to build at 4713 North Clark Street on January 6, and work is underway for a five-story masonry structure on the northeast corner with Leland Avenue.
The construction permit has been granted for a residential development in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood we told you about last month. The permit was issued on February 3 for 801 South Western Avenue, allowing 4Corners Real Estate to build a five-story, 36-unit building with 18 outdoor parking spaces and ground-floor retail. 4Corners will be their own general contractor, at an estimated construction cost of $500,000, according to the permit, which shows an application date of July 16, 2024.
Partial funding has been awarded for the Sunshine Community Center at 6020 S King Drive in Washington Park. Originally revealed in 2023 and approved by the city late last year, the center will replace a vacant lot on the southwest corner of Washington Park. The project is being led by Sunshine Gospel Ministries, which will be relocating from their current location nearby.
