The first permit has been issued to begin construction on a seven-story, 91-unit residential development on the northwest corner of North Sheridan and West Irving Park Roads in Uptown. Catapult Real Estate Solutions is the developer and recipient of the permit, which had been pending in the Chicago Data Portal since November 25 of last year and came through on the 3rd of April. It includes a reported cost of $31.5 million, which seems more likely to be the reported cost of all construction permits rather than just the caissons.

Three pending demolition permits will need to be issued before work here can get started. The single-story building at 4000 North Sheridan, home of the Holiday Club bar, will be demolished, as will be the three-story apartment building next to it at 4010 North Sheridan. And 1016 West Irving Park Road, an adjacent three-story, multi-unit residential building, will also be razed. Each of those demo permits has been pending in the portal since March 18. Precision Excavation will perform the teardowns. Go to Chicago YIMBY to read more.
