Glass is in session at 5753 North Broadway, a residential development on the busiest thoroughfare in the Edgewater neighborhood. Windows are being installed on the west façade along Broadway; some for the outermost walls, and some for the covered balconies that line the front of the building. Moments Notice Services, the developer and general contractor here, is building a five-story structure with 42 dwelling units on the site.

The previous building, a single-story brick auto service shop, was demolished last year after receiving a demo permit on July 11 of 2023. Bridges Excavating handled the teardown. The new building will include a rooftop deck, the aforementioned balconies on floors two through five, and retail space on the ground floor. A parking garage with 21 spaces will also be included on the first floor. Hanna Architects designed the building.

I am getting tired of these black gray bricks … which are also always too large with mortar that is not chosen to blend with the bricks. Looks cartoonish. And not in a fun way.
