Construction Permit Issued for 921 N Noble Street in Noble Square

A full construction permit has been issued for 921 N Noble Street, part of the larger St. Boniface Redevelopment initiative in Noble Square. ZSD Corp and Stas Development are co-developing this four-story mixed-use structure, which will be located directly north of the St. Boniface church, originally constructed in 1904. While initial plans for 921 N Noble Street projected a two-story building and subsequent documents proposed a three-story development, the most recent architectural drawings and permit description have confirmed four stories.

Designed by SPACE Architects + Planners, the building will reach a height of 46 feet, housing nine dwelling units in total, eight of which will be affordable. The scope also calls for a 1,100-square-foot live/work unit on the ground floor. As for the exterior, the facade will consist primarily of brick and metal paneling, with the metal-clad fourth floor set back from the street wall.

As part of the St. Boniface area redevelopment plan, the adaptive reuse of the St. Boniface church will yield 18 new condominiums. The broader scope also includes the construction of a new building to the east of the church along Chestnut Street, expected to deliver another 20 units.
