Demo permits issued to make way for project at 2249 W. Belmont

Demolition permits have been issued to clear the way for a residential development at 2249 W. Belmont. Planned by BM International Builders Inc, the project site is a midblock site along W. Belmont Ave between N. Oakley Ave and N. Leavitt St. The existing two-story residential structure and the rear garage will be demolished to make way for the new development.

Designed by Hanna Architects, the four-story brick building will stand 45 feet tall. Inside, the building will have six condominium units with six parking spaces in an attached garage accessible from the alley.

The basement and first floor of the building will have two three-bedroom duplex down units with terraces at the back. The second floor will have two three-bedroom simplex condos. The third and fourth floors of the building will have two four-bedroom duplex condos that will have private rooftop access.

With the full building permit already in hand, the issuance of the demolition permit for the two-story residential structure and the one-story rear garage will allow BM International Builders Inc, who is also serving as the general contractor, to clear the site and then move forward with construction of the new development. A timeline for construction has not been announced.
