Foundation work is underway to transform three contiguous vacant lots in Uptown into a new residential building. Spanning 936 through 940 West Leland Avenue, an excavator began tearing up the soil on the site this week for a five-story, 32-unit project. D.O.M. Properties is the builder, having received a construction permit in mid-November of last year. The triple lot is on the north side of the dead-end street, east of North Sheridan Road.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the residential proposal at 1201 West Kinzie Street in the West Loop. Located at the corner of North Racine Avenue, the development will replace a vacant lot bounded by Metra tracks to the south. Efforts are being led by LG Group in partnership with Dirk Denison Architects.
A permit issued by the City of Chicago on March 18 allows construction to begin on a seven-story, 78-unit residential development at Oak and Larrabee Streets in Near North Side. Proposed as 547 West Oak Street, the permit uses the address of 955 North Larrabee. It came through with a reported cost of $36,887,188 following its application date of November 20, 2023, a processing time of 849 days. The all-in-one full building permit includes concrete piles for the structure’s foundation.
Initial details have been revealed for the potential hotel conversion of the Burnham Center at 111 West Washington Street in The Loop.

Construction is underway for the new residential development at 2600 North Clark Street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. ENC Construction is working on excavation and shoring for the future five-story, 48-unit building by Initium Development. The project replaces a single-story commercial building on a roughly trapezoidal lot at the northwest corner of Clark and Wrightwood Avenue where Dunlay’s On Clark, Dave’s Records, and other businesses once set up shop.
