Eight Eleven Uptown alters the skyline with a new tower crane.
Planted, sprouted, and in full bloom, there’s now a tower crane high above Eight Eleven Uptown.
The 27-story apartment tower from JDL Development and Harlem Irving Companies at 811 West Agatite Avenue got its permit on April 3, so that’s an impressive jump to action from Lendlease.
Driving piles and breaking rocks at Eight Eleven Uptown.
Eight Eleven Uptown is the new apartment tower from JDL Development coming to the Uptown neighborhood. In the midst of clearing away remnants of the old Cuneo Hospital, foundation work is now underway on the 27-story, 381-unit tower at Montrose and Clarendon Avenues. Stalworth Underground is there as we speak, driving H-piles into the earth, even as American Demolition cleans up.
*** Look what came through Monday! It’s a tower crane permit. That was fast. ***

With the former Cuneo Hospital now history, the latest project from JDL Development and The Harlem Irving Companies, designed by Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, is underway. And according to the JDL website, with the new beginning comes a new name: Eight Eleven Uptown.
The Eight Eleven comes from the apartment tower’s new address, 811 West Agatite Avenue. The Uptown, as you may have guessed, comes from its location in the Uptown neighborhood. The 27-story tower will include 381 apartments and nearly 30,000 square feet of retail space.
Stalworth Underground is on-site currently, driving H-piles into the ground; Lendlease is the general contractor.
The foundation permit for Eight Eleven Uptown was issued February 17.
Demolition of the Cuneo Hospital complex back in January.
Straight up, 8 East Huron looks best on a sunny day.
Okay, so sunny days were almost the norm for awhile during our February Spring. Still, new construction is meant to be seen when the sun is shining. And winter ain’t over yet, so the sun could be gone just as quickly as it appeared.
Here’s an update on progress at 8 East Huron, the residential tower from CA Ventures and Harlem Irving Companies. The building, designed by Valerio Dewalt Train Associates, will have 102 apartments, 31 parking spaces, and more than 2,700 square feet of ground-floor retail. Clark Construction is on the build.
Cuneo Hospital gives way to the Montrose and Clarendon Development.
There are big plans for the intersection of Montrose and Clarendon Avenues in Uptown. And as is often the case, big plans to build first mean big plans to demolish.
And so it goes for the former Cuneo Hospital, and later the Maryville children’s shelter, buildings. Empty since 2005 (“it looks like a science experiment in there. Plants, moss, all kinds of things growing” I was told by a passing explorer) the old buildings had fallen into disrepair. So down they come. American Demolition is out there doing the dirty work.
Taking Cuneo’s place will be a joint venture from JDL Development and Harlem Irving Companies. Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture is the designer.
Rendering of Enclave Bucktown from Guardian Properties.
When last we visited the site of the future Enclave Bucktown, demolition was still in the process at what used to be Phoenix Fastener at 2501 West Homer Avenue. Now, many of the 50 3- and 4-bedroom row homes from developers Guardian Properties and Harlem Irving Companies are taking shape. John James Construction, hired as the general contractor for the properties, has a row of the Pappageorge Haymes Partners-designed homes off the ground, and another row of foundations in the ground.
8 East Huron is showing off 3 full levels of glass these days.
The 26-story 8 East Huron is 18 stories into its climb in River North. The latest big achievement for the CA Ventures project is glass on all four sides, starting on the fifth level. When Clark Construction completes work, 8 East Huron will be home to 105 apartments, 31 parking spaces, and some ground-floor retail.
The front door is open, but I’m pretty sure Phoenix Fastener is closed.
There are 50 row homes coming to the Bucktown neighborhood in the very near future. We know this because A. There’s a website for the upcoming Enclave Bucktown, and B. the former Phoenix Fastener building at 2501 West Homer Street is being demolished to make room for it.
Designed by Pappageorge Haymes Architects, Enclave will have 49 “upscale” row homes on the 2-acre site wedged between Homer and Cortland Streets at North Campbell Avenue. The 3- and 4-bedroom homes, being developed in a joint effort by Guardian Properties with Harlem Irving Companies, have no building permits yet, but there’s a sales trailer on the Cortland side of the project, even as KLF Excavating continues to tear down the Homer Street side.
