The first of two construction permits has been issued by the City of Chicago for a pair of four-story, eight-unit residential buildings in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood. A demolition permit came through on New Year’s Eve for 701 South Western Avenue, and now permission has been granted to begin the new development, although this first one won’t be on the demolition site, per se.
Details have been revealed for a new residential development at 1333 N Kingsbury Street in Near North Side. The project is located two blocks south of the recently completed Foundry apartments just west of N Halsted Street. Per the recently submitted zoning application, the new tower will replace an existing surface lot used by the office building next door.
220 North Ada joined 1717 Michigan recently in removing a tower crane from Chicago’s construction landscape, as glass installation starts to creep higher up the building’s exterior.
The city of Chicago has issued a new construction permit for the fourth and final parcel on a vacant lot in Bronzeville. 3954 South Indiana Avenue, permitted on January 13, joins 3944, 3948, and 3950, with those three having received permission back in December 2024.
Initial zoning has been approved for the residential expansion of the existing property at 1239 N Wood Street in Wicker Park. Announced several years ago, the project has faced a fair amount of scrutiny from its surrounding neighbors due to density and traffic. However, the Committee on Zoning has given the proposal the green light to be reviewed by the City Council.
