This is exactly what we talked about wanting to avoid on Sunday. A building gets demolished, then the lot sits empty for weeks or months or years before something new comes along. Such was the case at 2745 North Bosworth in the Lincoln Park Community Area. A demolition permit was issued here in December of 2021. I can’t say when exactly demolition work occurred, but the look of the lot (anyone need a double sink?), the overgrowth, the ragged fencing, tells me it’s been empty for far too long.

But not for much longer. On Tuesday April 23, a New Construction permit was issued by the City of Chicago for a three-story, two-unit building at 2745 North Bosworth. There will be a basement, as well as a detached two-car garage with a roof deck. But most importantly, there *won’t* be this eyesore of an empty lot.

The permit lists Bachula Development as the general contractor and Helen Liptak as the architect. Work, hopefully, will begin soon.
