New construction building permit was issued for 5151 N Lincoln Ave -- Lincoln & Foster. The current 1 and 2 story buildings will be torn down and replaced with a new 5 story building with 42 units, 20 indoor parking spaces, and ground floor retail.
This should scale nicely with the 4 story building next door and the 4 story building across the street to the north. Looks like it should get rid of most of the ugly surface lot on Foster part of this property too and keep an alleyway

The design is blah, but the added people and building density to the area is decent

P.S. This same company has or had plans to build a new 5 story (60 foot tall), 40 unit building just north of this intersection at 5214 N Lincoln Ave --
