A permit was issued on August 29 to allow the construction of a three-story, three-unit residential building at 5635 South Wabash Avenue in Washington Park. The permit comes about seven weeks after its application was submitted on July 7, and it cites a reported cost of $500,000.

The three-flat will be built on-slab, so there is no basement. There will be a stairway connecting open decks on all three floors at the rear of the building, and behind it, three surface parking spaces will be added off the alley. J.L. Construction Incorporated is the developer and general contractor, with Kathryn Shahbaz Obrien named as the architect of record.

The subject parcel of land is a long-vacant lot mid-block between 56th and 57th Streets. There are several intermittent empty lots on both sides of the street, but there are no other permits showing in the Chicago Data Portal for this block. Check out Chicago YIMBY for further details!
