Construction progress has topped out, the exterior is bricked up, and it looks like windows could be added any day, at a four-story, 18-unit building at 5845 North Clark Street in the Edgewater neighborhood. Located at the corner of Clark and Ardmore, the two-tone brick building is being built by Shutler Development, who’s also acting as the general contractor.

SPACE Architects + Planners is the designer of this project. A demolition permit was issued May 12 of 2022 to clear the site of the single-story former home of Metro Remittance Center and Bacolod’s Best Kitchen at 5845 North Clark Street. Mulroy Demolition & Excavation was listed as the demo contractor for the tear-down. A New Construction permit followed on November 28, 2022. Using the address of 1548 West Ardmore Avenue, that permit called for parking on the first floor, but unlike so many new construction projects, no ground-level retail space.

1550 North Wieland TOD

Six stories of new TOD at 1550 North Wieland Street in Old Town.

When we last paid a visit to the 200-block of West North Avenue in Old Town last fall, a couple venerable old buildings at 227 and 233 West North were being demolished to make room for a new Transit Oriented Development from JAB Real Estate. That new TOD has now topped out.

Located at 1550 North Wieland Street per the city’s building permit, the new six-story, 60-unit building is designed by Space Architects + Planners, and will include parking for 20 cars and 60 bicycles. There will also be ground-level retail. Maris Construction (CA Washington) is the general contractor.

817 West Lake Street

This two-story brick building at 817 West Lake Street will be a bar/restaurant.

LG Development, already busy in the West Loop, has a permit on file with the City of Chicago as of yesterday to turn the two-story brick building at 817 West Lake Street into a bar and restaurant.

817 West Lake Street.

Got it.

The permit calls for “adaptive re-use” using designs from Jay Keller of Space Architects + Planners. Space has done work on the brand new Federales in the West Loop, as well Half Acre Beer Company and Bleeding Heart Bakery.

LG, meanwhile, looks to be busy for the foreseeable future in the West Loop. It has a big project coming up at 111 South Peoria Street, Illume, and numerous other projects around town, including 1101 West Randolph, where a third story is being added to a two-story building under renovation.
