15 new construction building permits were issued to build 15 new SFH on the former site of William H King Elementary School on the 2500 block of W Lexington in Tri Taylor. That school was torn down a few years ago.

This is right behind the 15 SFH already built on the same block of 2500 W Polk within the last few years.

Nice. I’m rooting for Tri-Taylor

Some years ago I saw some potential investment property there but decided against pursuing it. It’s got good bones and is starting to rise again. It was building up before the 2009 recession but sort of remained “frozen in place” for many years after that. It seems to have fully “thawed” from that.

2801-07 S Halsted St aka "Parkview on Halsted." in Bridgeport. 30 new construction condos starting at $159K for 1 bed/1 bath and $329K for 2-3 bed/2 bath. This is currently vacant land and close to a few other newer developments from similar developers. I think this building will probably have a ground floor commercial/retail component. This has been vacant for awhile and I believe this has been planned for years. Looks like they're finally trying to get it off the ground and sell units.

Ald. Hopkins is requesting to upzone 1535 N. Dayton to C3-5. This should allow the Menomonee Club redevelopment to move forward. Proposed back in 2018 for a 197 unit midrise and a new building for the Menomonee Club

We are supposed to pretend that pavers and bushes are going to make Chicago more equitable? Talk about virtue signaling. The 35th Ward is bleeding residents, the only Ward on the North side losing population at anywhere near that rate, and fucking Carlos is over here planting flowers and calling it Transit Oriented Development.

Yeah I'm sure the hundreds of families being thrown of two flats will suddenly be able to afford to buy their buildings because you made a "Latinx themed plaza". Hold my beer, I'm going to make a North Pole themed Christmas display this year to stop global warming and save the polar bears.

What an insufferable idiot.
Man, misinformation really spreads like wildfire on this forum. If anyone bothered to read the article, the grants in question are microgrants up to $20,000 each. The grant in question for Logan Square is for the new Emmett Street Apartments eTOD (probably the best example of eTOD in Chicago to date) not for the plaza near by, La Placita, which I’m very much looking forward to becoming one of the new great public spaces in Chicago.

Oh I'm sorry, it's for a $15,000 mural on the side of an already approved, funded (at $400k a door, a price private developers laugh at), and constructed building.

This is not TOD or equitable in any way shape or form. It's literally money that should be spent actually improving the city being funneled through Bickerdike to some artist that Rosa is pals with.

It's not TOD, it's pork.

Meanwhile NEIU can't even get a single bid for the property on Kimball and the Kennedy they took via emminant domain because it's currently a useless m1-1 zone and no one wants to deal with Rosa's impossible demands.

since we are talking about pork, I wonder how much of that $15,000 grant will make its way to the artist painting the mural vs. Bickerdike's management fee

Well there's $13k worth of "paint" to be acquired and it will cost them $1k to pick it up from Sherwin Williams, so I'm guessing $1k max.

BTW, for those who haven't followed this, Bickerdike has already been caught running a kickback scam through private, for profit, GC firms owned by family members of Bickerdike executives. Literally they get all sorts of state and federal grant funding for non profits and then pay massively inflated prices to businesses owned by friends and family. They are known for their corruption.

I've got to say, these high rises that have gone up and frame Union park have transformed the way the park looks. From the west, it's framed in now and looks like an urban park and no longer like it's just a big field.
