The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use development 2033 N Kingsbury Avenue in Lincoln Park. Located on the eastern edge of Lincoln Yards right off of N Clybourn Avenue, the project will replace a vacant lot bound by curved railroad tracks to the south. Like other developments in the area, the project is being led by Sterling Bay.
The outer shell is taking shape for the new Racine Blue Line station on Chicago’s Near West Side. The station, which lies between the inbound and outbound lanes of the Eisenhower Expressway, is part of the CTA’s $3 billion plan to reconstruct the Forest Park Branch of the Blue Line system. The Racine renovation alone, which extends from Racine Avenue to the east to Loomis Street to the west, is estimated to cost approximately $23 million.
A permit for new construction has been issued for a property located at 5921 South Calumet Avenue in Washington Park. The permit, which was applied for on May 30 and issued on July 30, allows for the erection of a new three-story apartment building with three dwelling units and one detached garage for three parking spaces located on the same lot.
A building permit has been issued for the mixed-use development at 1549 N Fremont Street in the Near North Side. Located just south of the intersection with North Avenue, the project will replace a vacant lot in the quickly densifying area. Efforts for the development are being led by City Pads Chicago with NORR Architects working on its design.
A demolition permit was issued August 1 for the former Fast Track restaurant at 629 West Lake Street in the West Loop. That should clear the way to realize the pending permit for an eight-story, 49-unit apartment building designed by Axios Architects.
