The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use building at 8340 S Martin Luther King Drive in Chatham. Located just south of the intersection with E 83rd Street, the proposal will be replacing a long term vacant lot. Efforts on the project are being led in collaboration by ZPACT Developers LLC, SPM Properties & Development, and Park Manor Christian Church.
Foundation work is done, and the concrete core has started to rise, for the new affordable housing development at 835 West Addison Street in Lake View. Lakeview Landing is going to be a six-story, 37-unit building located just two blocks from Wrigley Field and the Addison Red Line platform.
A caissons-only permit has been issued for the construction of a new seven-story mixed-use building at 1100 West Grand Avenue in West Town. The permit, issued on August 16, comes after a lengthy 422-day direct developer services process that began with the application submission on June 21, 2023.
Continuing our Sister Cities series, we return to Milwaukee, where a new proposal has been unveiled for the world’s tallest mass-timber tower. Located at 1001 N Water Street on the western edge of downtown, the project will replace a multi-story parking garage with a three-tower high-rise development. Efforts are being led by local developer The Neutral Project.
A steel framework is forming inside the shell of the Second Church of Christ, Scientist in Lincoln Park. That’s where Ogden Partners is developing a six-story building containing 22 three-bedroom units while saving the west, south, and east façades of the 120-year-old church. The church, at 2700 North Pine Grove Avenue, has been holding its services and meetings on Zoom, but will occupy 4,700 square feet of ground-floor space in the new building upon its completion.
