The City of Chicago has issued a renovation permit for 7346 South Peoria Street in Englewood. The approval will allow the new owner, Stone Equity Inc of Arlington Heights, to rescue the home after purchasing it in September of last year for $50,000. They applied for the permit on January 9, and it was approved on April 11. It comes with a reported construction cost of $30,000.
Plans for the residential development at 3819 N Kedzie Avenue are moving forward as 33rd ward alderwoman Rosanna Rodriguez has given her approval. Located near the intersection with W Byron Street, the proposal will be replacing three one-story commercial buildings near the heart of Irving Park.
Construction progress at Northwestern University’s Ryan Field is becoming more visible from the perimeter, as steel columns and metal decking rise to form the stadium’s shell. The first piece of structural steel was set in place back in November, and now the Wildcats are doing their best Steelers impression, as iron work rises throughout the Evanston construction site.
Demolition has yet to begin on the small retail plaza at 4313 North Lincoln Avenue in North Center, but the construction permit for the residential building taking its place has been issued. Demo fencing has been set up around the plaza’s perimeter since a previous visit last month, shortly after permission to tear the buildings down came through, but Precision Excavation’s on-site equipment has yet to dig in.
The Chicago City Council has approved the residential development at 2606 S Peoria Street in Bridgeport. Originally revealed just a few months ago, the project has sailed through the city’s approval process, having been green lit by the Committee on Zoning not long ago. The building will be replacing a small wedged lot on the corner with W 27th Street.
