and since when does wrigleyville need a hotel and MORE condos? i'm all for replacing the 7-11 and the empty lots with 1-3 story building, but a 9-story MEGA PLEX? this is just awful, and has no place in the community.
also, the starbucks isn't just some crappy building.
it's an original piece of chicago
...this isn't a part of chicago that is in need of new development. and besides, if the developer wants his huge project, why isn't the lot of 7-11 down to the starbucks big enough?
and btw, i too live in the neighborhood. |
Not much besides the Starbucks building that's up for demolition is really worth a second thought and the displaced bars are being offered leases in the new building. That wedge of land is badly under utilized. I also believe the residental has been switched to rental from condo.
Getting this kind of dense multi-use project within spitting distance of the Red Line is exactly the kind of stuff the city should be supporting.
