It was the third of September, a day they’ll always remember at the First Romanian Baptist Church in Lincoln Park, because that was the day a permit came through to demolish the frame church building at 2622 North Ashland Avenue. Pending for 69 days since its application start date of June 26, the permit came through with a reported cost of $20,000. Carlos Group Inc is named as the demo contractor.
The replacement permit was issued on Tuesday, September 1 for an 1888-built multi-unit residence in Lincoln Park that was permitted for demolition back in June. Landex Holding Company LLC now has permission to erect a three-story plus basement, four-unit building at 950 West Willow Street. The permit had been pending in the data portal since April 4, a duration of 150 days, and it came through with a reported cost of $950,000.
Plans for the upcoming residential development at 754 West Belden in Lincoln Park have been further refined as it continues its path towards approval. Sitting at the intersection with North Halsted Street and across the way from the DePaul School of Music, the proposal would replace a two-story structure and its parking lot.
A four-story plus basement, three-unit residential building has been permitted to replace a single-family residence authorized for demolition in July. On August 17, the city issued a permit for 911 West Diversey Parkway in Lincoln Park that entered the data portal on July 31. It comes with a reported cost of $889,982.
In Lincoln Park, one of the more unique facadectomies in the city is moving closer to exterior completion. At 2700 North Pine Grove Avenue, the former Second Church of Christ, Scientist was gutted while its east, west, and south Beaux Arts facades were shored up for preservation, and has been rebuilt to hold 22 dwelling units.
