ARD 1105 WALNUT LLC 1

For the complete demolition of an existing one (1) story building
Now add in a demo permit for 140 S. 11th St, adjacent to Wendy's. Here's what happened, according to a public facebook comment from Paul Steinke of the Preservation Alliance:

"The original apartment tower design was rejected by the FAA due to Jefferson’s nearby helipad. So the developer gobbled up several more adjacent properties to allow a lower, squatter project. Now more layers of WashWest history will be lost in favor of yet another cookie cutter apartment building."
