City In Review: Chicago

Dunning · 2025-04

Dunning permit value rockets to $9.1 million

Dunning's permit value jumped from $566k in March to $9.1 million in April, a fifteenfold spike. The neighborhood issued 29 permits, just two more than the prior month, but the dollars tell a different story. Twenty-three were filed through the city's express program, with another five tagged as renovation or alteration work. No new businesses opened, none closed. The surge points to at least one large project breaking ground or ramping up this spring.
