City In Review: Chicago

Roseland · 2025-06

Roseland permit value jumps to $33.9M

Roseland's permit value shot up 656% in June, hitting $33.9 million compared to May's $4.5 million. The city issued 29 permits, down from 35 the month before. Twenty of those were express permits, with five renovation or alteration jobs and three demolitions rounding out the mix. No new business licenses or closures were recorded. It's a striking swing driven by at least one big-ticket project, though the neighborhood otherwise saw a quieter month on the ground.
