A LinkedIn post from Chicago architecture firm Hirsch MPG announced the imminent beginning of construction at 3605 North Ravenswood in Lake View. On hold for the better part of a year, the development fills in what is now an empty dirt lot, after demolitions of three properties (1744 and 1746 West Addison, and 3609 North Ravenswood) on the northwest corner of Addison and Ravenswood in 2022.

According to Hirsch MPG, there has been a bout a year-long delay in getting construction started at 3605 North Ravenswood, but now they expert work to commence this month. With Macon Construction as the general contractor, Hirsch has designed a six-story, 54-unit apartment building with 12 parking spaces and a rooftop terrace. The ground floor will include 2 retail spaces.

Macon Construction pulls double duty on this one, joining forces with Stocking Urban as co-developers while also serving as general contractor. The New Construction permit is still pending with the City of Chicago; we’ll be on the lookout for that to be issued any day now.
