The City of Chicago issued a demolition permit for a three-story residential building at 3710 N Ashland Avenue in Lake View on June 21,2024. And by Friday the 28th, the structure had been completely demolished, leaving only an empty foundation to be torn out. While many properties sit vacant with active demolition permits unattended to, this one took less than a week to meet its proverbial wrecking ball.
Demolition is complete for Lake View Lutheran Church at 835 W Addison Street in Lake View. Now, attention turns to Lakeview Landing, as the crew from Powers & Sons Construction begins work on the residential development’s foundation.
