The vertical bars on the chapel thing in front look like skeleton teeth to me.<br />And even though I find the new design very boring and common, I'm thrilled to see development on this corner. Also very curious to see what kinds of retail will inhabit street level. I PRAY it's not some "currency exchange" thing. That would kill the whole corner.ThisGirlThinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300738762526742280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-245203510959302592015-12-02T21:53:17.756-06:002015-12-02T21:53:17.756-06:00As owners on Agatite we are thrilled!!!As owners on Agatite we are thrilled!!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210714801771557249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-39752543972418707222015-12-02T17:06:38.077-06:002015-12-02T17:06:38.077-06:00On their best day those buildings were ugly. Mid-...On their best day those buildings were ugly. Mid-century brutalist architecture ain't my thing. <br /><br />Adding this to the inevitable residential developments that will spring up nearer to the renovated EL stop and construction activity will likely be heavy in Uptown for the next few years. <br /><br />Next we need to ID other properties ripe for development. None will have this density, but they're out there. Some parcels on Broadway in Buena Park. Lot across from Weiss on Clarendon. The vacant lots in Sheridan Park. <br /><br />I love the smell of sawdust in the morning. The smell, you know that new construction smell, The whole neighborhood(sniffing-pondering) smells like victory.

It was clear at Monday's meeting that the developers listened to the neighborhood concerns and came up with a win win for all.<br /><br />So happy that the level headed educated constituency prevailed. This is good for the longer term health of the neighborhood.

Ha! <br />Well I'm excited to this site finally developing something other than that abandoned buildings which cast an unwelcoming site coming off Lakeshore into Uptown. I can only imagine the views it will have for the residents facing eastbound towards the park and lake. <br />Can anyone tell what's being built in the actual empty parking lot according to their plans? And what is the small building being built right across the street in the corner where the connected building stands on the park propert?Uptown appalledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350101363966073775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-70054986500296929022015-12-02T09:19:11.868-06:002015-12-02T09:19:11.868-06:00This is happening IMBY (in my back yard) and I'...This is happening IMBY (in my back yard) and I'm all for it. Why? Because the developer is awesome and has accommodated the neighbors. So I wasn't really a NIMBY like Irish Pile-of-it suggested, I was just anti-Sedgwick. <br /><br />I'd still rather have the current building renovated and used as a school, but I know that won't generate tax dollars for the neighborhood. But if something has to be built here, I'm glad it's JDL doing the building.<br /><br />Whaddya think of that IPee?Just askinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01118238831960239879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-48917888222523007782015-12-02T08:49:52.664-06:002015-12-02T08:49:52.664-06:00Anybody know anything about when permit parking ge...Anybody know anything about when permit parking gets installed in the area?
