VAM will erect a four-story, 21-unit building designed by Hanna Architects on the northeast corner of North Campbell and West Bloomingdale Avenues, right next to the 606 Trail. Each residence will feature a two-bedroom floor plan, and most will be on the three upper floors. The first floor will contain three dwelling units facing south fronting Bloomingdale Avenue, an 11-space garage accessed from the north alley, a bike storage room, and the resident vestibule.

A demolition permit for the previous residence on the property was issued by the city in August, and was carried out by Land Enterprises. Real estate records show VAM Development purchased the 1885-built home and property in November for $1.4 million.

All of those beautiful trees for an ugly box.Boo.
Housing is more important than trees on a single family lot. Even if it is ugly.
Nice density upgrade. And an easy walk to the Western station. Love to see it.
