New permit issued for a 1-story convenience store at the empty lot at the southwest corner of Damen Fullerton; across from drive thru popeyes and kiddie corner from the new drive thru restaurants going in at Damen/Elston.
A small part of me is happy to see anything going in since these empty lots are so depressing to look at every morning. Although... gross. |
Just walked past 1111 West Winona which is currently being torn down. Anyone know if something is proposed here? Or maybe the site will be used as a staging area for the upcoming CTA modernization of the red/purple line? I walked past here on Saturday morning and the building was still there, so the demolition presumably just started today.

It doesn't show up on CTA's affected properties map, but this demolition may be to build a temporary Argyle station platform. It will have two side platforms instead of one center platform, and the Foster bus will be re-routed to this temporary station (since Berwyn will be closed).
A CTA map seems to indicate that the southbound temporary platform will be somewhere north of Argyle - could be this site on Winona - while the northbound platform will be near the existing platform (or IS the existing platform): https://www.transitchicago.com/asset...2-23_FINAL.pdf These temporary platforms are usually wood-framed, it's kind of interesting. Looks like something you'd see at an amusement park. http://www.chicago-l.org/stations/im...Rockwell01.jpg http://www.chicago-l.org/stations/im...rniaTemp01.jpg http://www.chicago-l.org/stations/im...garfield60.jpg |
^ I am pretty sure there's a few new buildings proposed for those lots on Broadway but it's completely slipping my mind.
In other news, there is a new 3800 capacity music venue with full service restaurant opening at 640 W Cermak opening in February or early March 2020. It looks like they've already booked some semi big or big names - Dillon Francis, Carl Cox, Lil Wayne, Killswitch Engage, Alkaline Trio, and Bad Religion. Why am I posting about this? It's right across the Cermak bridge from that huge warehouse being renovated by Chinese developers for a new 200 room hotel with a handful of restaurants, huge Chinese grocery store, huge spa, etc. Also, another Chinese developer is planning on a vacant lot just a block or so north of this to build 7 or 8 new buildings with over 200 new residential units and over 100K sq ft of retail space. That same developer already renovated part of a warehouse across from that vacant lot for a new Chinese mall. Could this little area suddently pop up seemingly overnight? And speaking of Chinatown - does anyone know whether the new Chinatown hotel on Wentworth started construction yet? They got a building permit for it a few months ago. |

“The second phase of Cedar Street’s plan calls for the construction of two new seven-story buildings across the street at 5083 and 5063 N. Broadway. In total, the combined multi-building development will deliver 710 apartments units and 45,000 square feet of commercial space. It will utilize the existing 600-car parking garage at nearby 5051 N. Broadway.” |

The permit was issued just over 2 months ago. Here's a story on it from last summer. It's supposed to have 168 rooms. I have yet to find a rendering for it. https://blockclubchicago.org/2018/07...-neighborhood/ |

Or just get rid of the rooftop deck, that can't be a deal breaker. These buildings are abandoned. They will deteriorate and have to come down if they aren't occupied. |
