Wrigleyville Is Building Up: New Condos Permitted on West Grace Street as the Neighborhood Keeps Evolving

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Wrigleyville · May 13, 2026

Wrigleyville's residential landscape is shifting in real time — and a brand-new construction permit issued just this week signals that change is accelerating. A new construction permit was issued on May 6 for a condominium development at 1230-1234 West Grace Street, where a two-story masonry building will soon give way to four new condos. It's the latest sign that Wrigleyville continues to attract investment not just in bars and ballparks, but in the very homes that make it a true neighborhood.

And while the bricks are being laid for the future, one beloved Chicago institution is making a major bet on Wrigleyville's present. Kincade's — the Lincoln Park bar that has been a Chicago staple for 40 years — opened a second location at 3660 N. Clark St. earlier this spring, directly across from Wrigley Field. The two-floor bar from Lucky 13 Hospitality Group took over the former Lost Never Found and Casey Moran's space, with leaders saying the move has been in the works for nearly two years. "People just want a space to hang out with their friends," said one Lucky 13 rep — a sentiment that feels right at home in this neighborhood.

From new condos on Grace Street to a storied Chicago bar planting fresh roots on Clark, Wrigleyville is writing its next chapter one block at a time. Whether you're a longtime resident or just discovering the neighborhood, now is a great time to explore what's new — and what's here to stay.
