4 recent new construction building permit issuances. Someone already wrote about the new 6 story, 70 unit building permitted on Wednesday at a vacant lot at Roosevelt and Throop too so I'll skip that. In total, 250 new units permitted in the last week (tho 64 of them were originally permitted for basic permits in late Oct) across 2 new 5 story buildings, a 6 story building, a 4 story building, and 9 story building. 4 of those 5 buildings are going on vacant lots and another is going in place of a 1 story strip mall with small surface lot.
1) New 5 story, 56 unit building at 2924 W Medill in Logan Square. This is currently a
vacant lot a few blocks from the California Blue Line stop and a block parallel to Milwaukee Ave. New construction permit was issued last Friday 12/2.

2) New 5 story, 42 unit building with ground floor retail at Farragut & Lincoln just north of Foster. Issued a permit last Friday 12/2. This was recently a
1 story strip mall with small surface lot, which was torn down earlier this year for this project. The developer, Regency Developer Group, is based in Northbrook and has some projects in the city, and has recently been branching out to develop a few in South Florida. This site is a block from another one of their projects (I think) at the intersection of Foster & Lincoln - also a 5 story, 42 unit building that was issued a permit in early October 2022. Both projects have architect as John Hanna.
More cookie cutter stuff, but I guess between these 2 buildings it's decent density for the area (84 new units on 2 new 5 story buildings, and a 1 story strip mall with small surface lot bites the dust for one of them.

3) Panoptic is building a new 4 story, 18 unit building with ground floor retail on Western & Farragut just north of Foster. The building permit for it was issued last Friday 12/2. This is currently a surface parking lot and a 1 story former bank building - 5235 N Western Ave. This is a big 18 units as apparently all of them are 4 bedrooms each. This is a block or so due west of the building in #2 above.

4) Not sure if anyone wrote about it, but 1203 N California (California & Division) on a
vacant lot across from Humboldt Park was issued new construction permits in late October as well as Tuesday 12/6. This will be a new 9 story, 95 foot tall affordable housing development from the Hispanic Housing Development Corporation and will have 64 apartments and ground floor commercial space.
