Demolition permits were officially issued for the removal of a two-story masonry residence at 5356 N Sheridan Road in Edgewater. The site was formerly home to Wing Hoe Restaurant and its surrounding parking lot. Evergreen Solutions is serving as the demolition contractor on this project. The demolition permit was issued to Tempus Group Holding, which is working in conjunction with 2R/Z Architecture on a new seven-story development which was approved in spring of 2022.

The building will also have a 25-vehicle parking lot, a 38-bicycle parking room, a small lobby, a mail room, and a bike repair room located on the mezzanine floor.

5 stories in a location surrounded by yester-years high-rises and across from the tallest building along the entire north shore. Come on Chicago, do better. We should have seen an explosion of high-rise growth along the north-shore over the last 20 years given how affluent these areas have become. Instead we’ve seen only a handful `
Seriously, with the red line so close broadway should be lined with high rises as well.
Our still counter-productive zoning and developer-unfriendly building department and process at work.
I’m glad that there is not highrise glut. Sheridan already has plenty of highrises. Hate what’s happening in the Randolph Street area — all of those towering buildings create a shadowed, grey, and cold atmosphere at the street level. Ugly building designs as well.
That’s life in the big-city, transformation is a positive. We shouldn’t stop building high-rises because “there’s enough already.” We need to maximize population and structural density, generate tax-revenue and provide modern high-rise housing options with modern amenities as the vast majority of high-rises along the north shore are ugly mid-century-modern boxes that are set-back from the street and don’t contain active uses.
We have to compete with coastal cities and the lakefront is our greatest feature, new buildings near-by that offer lake views is an asset for the city to attract high income individuals that want big-city hustle and bustle. The scale drops off a cliff west of Sheridan.
Totally agree with UnionMade.
