A demolition permit is imminent for the former United Christian Church at 1055 West Diversey Parkway in Lincoln Park, as a new construction permit has been issued for the property. On September 4, the City of Chicago issued a permit allowing Contemporary Concepts to build their planned five-story, 24-unit residential development on the site. Crews were out the following day prepping the church for demolition.

The Studio Dwell-designed building will contain a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans, though there are expected to be just one each of the one-bedroom and four-bedroom. Four units are designated as affordable. The top-floor unit, the one four-bedroom layout, will be the only unit with a balcony. There will also be just one off-street parking space, according to the permit. The estimated cost of construction is $4.5 million.
