There were 2 permits issued in the last 2 days to build 2 new mixed use 5-story buildings on a vacant piece of land at 2127-2139 W Madison. Total of 88 new units and 4 total ground floor mercantile spaces. A total of 88 spaces for cars in garages. This is next to the Mabel Manning branch of the public library a little west of the United Center. Architect is SGW.
The owners of the parcel from what I can find are a handful of guys who I believe are from Ukraine originally. One of them is a constructor contractor. At least one of the owners is the same as a semi recently built 4 story building at 2223 W Madison right down the street (
