Three new homes at 4454-4458 North Greenview will replace the former First Spanish Christian Church on the corner of Sunnyside and Greenview in Uptown. The church was demolished in January to make room for three new single-family homes along Greenview Avenue.
Ryan Field, Northwestern University’s nearly 100-year-old football stadium at 1501 Central Street in Evanston, is being demolished and replaced with a new stadium. Demolition work began in February of this year, and has progressed to the point that little remains of the stadium but memories and a little bit of the press box tower.
Demolition work is clearly evident at 100 West Randolph Street in The Loop, as the transformation of the Thompson Center for Google hits its stride. The ceremonial kickoff for the renovation took place earlier this week, but demolition work has been underway for a few weeks. Along with considerable progress at street level along the perimeter of the building, there’s also a gaping hole in the east facade of the Helmut Jahn classic in The Loop. Clark Construction is the general contractor tasked with redoing the office building so Google can move in upon rehab completion.
