The steel skeleton is taking shape for a new parish center at the Church of Our Saviour in Lincoln Park. The church began demolition of the 1860s-era parish hall in July after receiving permission to tear it down it on May 13. Church of Our Saviour is working with Care for Friends, a community partner, on the new addition.
Crain’s Chicago Business has reported that the property on which the historic Holy Angels School in Bronzeville has stood for more than a century has been put back on the market, potentially saving the building from demolition. A pending construction permit with an application date of November 2, 2023 calls for a four-story, 48-unit residential development on the site, which would lead to the empty structure being demolished.
Plans are advancing for the mixed-use development at 801 S Western Avenue in Tri-Taylor. Sitting on the corner with W Polk Street and set to replace a surface parking lot, the project was originally announced a year ago as the area around the Illinois Medical District continues to grow. Just down the street, 701 S Western scored a demo permit to make way for another new structure.
Demolition work is nearing completion ahead of the new Tiny Giants Early Learning Center at 2801 West Montrose Avenue in Horner Park. Located on the southwest corner of Montrose and California Avenues, the mixed-use childhood education and residential development is replacing three commercial buildings that were permitted for teardown in August and October last year.
A demolition permit was issued December 31 for a single-story commercial building at 701-709 South Western Avenue in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood. Located on the southeast corner of Western and Flournoy Street on the Near West Side, all five commercial spaces in the building appear to have been unoccupied for quite some time. The teardown directive was issued with B & K Concrete 1 named as the demo contractor, at an estimated cost of $45,000.
