This would be nice. For the micro apartments project, is that for the NW corner of Chicago and Wells? That'd be nice.
The only downside of replacing that check cashing place on the SE corner of Chicago and Lasalle is, where will the drug dealers park while waiting for their customers?! Won't any one think of the (drug using) children!?

This is the former Pierre's Bakery building and it will erase the parking lot for it.
The plans go back 2+ years - Carlos Ramirez-Rosa wanted to block this if it didn't include any affordable housing.

Nice to see that section finally getting something - and not just "something," but something appropriately dense for the area. I hope all the appropriate lots in the area will be built at least to this standard of density. I don't necessarily want the Dill Pickle across the street to be torn down if it's functional, but if that building is ever unused, I'd love to see a mirror of this one placed in there. Plus that McDonalds a few spaces to the south could do with something like this, as could that surface lot next to the main Logan Square subway entrance. I get that the community likes that lot for the farmers market in the summer, but there must be somewhere nearby that could be used (may next to the centennial monument, for example?). And that Bank of America lot on Diversey would really be awesome to be built out like this one. And maybe that dialysis center on Kimball someday, too. And those triangle lots along Kimball near Wisner and north there. And, of course, the ultimate will be redeveloping that collection on the NW corner of Belmont and Kimball that is perennially wished for by urban types.
