The fact is that it's often only possible in the first place to sell land in Lincoln Park for cheap enough to make a SFH financially feasible because the price of the land is effectively capped because it's so hard to build apartments on it. |

Seeing that map makes it feel like urban renewal part 2. Sad to loose those buildings.

There is a zoning app up which details building a new 7 story, 83 foot 8 inch tall building at 1623-31 N Halsted Street which would have 79 residential units or hotel rooms (not sure which one) with ground floor retail, 79 bike spaces, and 0 parking spaces. Owner/developer is Logan Ventures Fund and they bought those properties 7 years ago. They checked the ARO box, so it's probably residential.
Very very close to Steppenwolf Theater (and the expansion going on now) along with the North/Clybourn Red Line stop and all the stores there. Looks like it would knock down these 4 buildings: https://www.google.com/maps/place/16...!4d-87.6480748 |

The Presidential Towers space that used to be a Walmart is now going to be a Porsche dealer. That is a weird twist I didn't see coming - but its kind of good outcome for that space? The McLaren showroom a few blocks north seems to be doing fine, wonder if we could see more of this kind of format in the area.

It's interesting to see these car dealerships switch to a more urban format. Too bad it's all luxury brands, I don't really see a lot of lower and mid-level brands opening these urban dealerships. Honda is the only one with their dealership at Clark/Maple.
Fox Ford on Elston is 2 stories, but it's still basically a suburban design. Rogers Chevy on S Michigan is a leftover 50s style dealership that just hung on. |
