The permit was issued on April 29 of this year, and it came with a reported cost of $3.9 million. A pair of vintage masonry buildings that had been combined into a single-family residence were torn down for redevelopment this spring. Three demolition permits for those structures were permitted on January 29.

Architecturally, these were a steep downgrade.
At least it wasn’t a deconversion…
nice modern design, glad they are not going for the ye old tyme chicago design from the streets of Disney
Hoping the dramatic up-lighting in the rendering is included, and hope it will remain.
I know it’s not architecture that would win awards, but honestly, I think the overall experience of a city is mostly impacted by 1) density 2) streetscape (e.g. walkable, safe, multimodal, periodic parks, and not car-centric) and 3) variety (mixed use).
I think if you emphasize those three things, even with somewhat drab architectural buildings, you get as close as you can to ideal urban living. Beautiful ornamentation in architecture is just the cherry on top.
This is good – it’s keeping density in Lincoln Park and isn’t a reversion to lower density.
Ok but that’s way too much parking. That is the real travesty, not the architectural elements.
I disagree. Chicago’s great collection of vintage structures contributes just as much to the overall city experience.
This is a net loss of units. Not ideal
A net increase since the multifamily buildings had been combined into a single family home, but a net decrease in units compared to when the multi-unit buildings had originally been used as 9 total units.
As an aside, there seems to be a missing stairs on both the 4th floor & roof plans, because the roof stairs lead to nowhere & the egress stair does not extend to the roof, even though the elevator does.
Horrible how the historical buildings were demolished. Shame
