Construction plans for the corner of Vermont and Lexington avenues finally seem to have revived after sitting dormant since 2019. Construction equipment has been on site at 4663 W. Lexington Avenue, where a building permit calls for a six-story mixed-use structure with 24 apartments and two ground-floor commercial units. Similar plans first emerged in 2019, and were conditionally approved in August 2020.
