The Chicago City Council approved the sale of 935 vacant residential lots yesterday to people who own property on the same block for $1 through the Large Lots program.

This is a decrease of 16 lots that were submitted for approval at the Housing & Real Estate committee meeting in September.

The Department of Planning & Development will schedule closings with buyers in November and December, but the dates haven’t been fixed yet.

Our map is below; green lots were sold yesterday and red lots were applied for but not sold.
