At 438 W St. James Place in Lincoln Park, The Saint James is beginning to take shape on a quiet residential side street. Situated less than a block from Lincoln Park’s North Pond, this five-story, four-unit condominium building will offer three 3,810-square-foot, five-bedroom condos, and one 4,215-square-foot, five-bedroom penthouse.

I wish the city would establish an area where older houses like this could go. Instead of landfilling them, an entire neighborhood could be established for great old buildings like this. Maybe on part of Lincoln Yards.
Yes!
That’s a great idea!
Down goes a beautiful greystone building, up goes an uneventful dark masonry garage looking structure with punched windows that thinks it’s luxury mega-condos. Not a trace of quality stonework, just cheap bargain basement bricks. Alderman Timmy should be ashamed of himself for accepting this downgrade.
