^^ but for facing a park, the 4 story replacement buildings will be much more appropriately scaled compared to the old single-story structure.

^ More is that, please. Chicago needs to keep its brick, and build more.

i disagree, but we already went in circles on that.

in other related news, the brick is going up on the McD vendor building and looks really sharp. dosent appear to be a prefab thing. or maybe it is, dont know how that stuff works. but appears to be full size reclaimed brick and is already blending in really nicely at the base

Is something going to be done to the color of the brick on the 3rd floor of 930 Fulton going to match that of the floors below it. Not sure why, but it bothers me.

* The parking lot at Huron & Sedgwick was sold a month ago to the developer who wants to construct a 10 story, 45 unit building there. Hopefully this means it's not too far around the corner from happening (https://www.buzzbuzzhome.com/us/365-w-huron-street).

* Family Dollar in Logan Square on Milwaukee near California was sold at the end of March for $4.125M. Buyer might be MNM Partners from the Bay Area.

Anyone know if anything has moved forward in regards to that urbanist’s horror movie known as Father and Son Plaza on North Avenue?

Who owns the west side parking lot surrounded by Jackson, Morgan, Van Buren and Sangamon? That is definitely a site I would like to see redeveloped.

What a joke prices have become on this stretch. I remember in 2013 when a client of mine had the twin towers site under contract for $3 million. It's only a matter of time before they raze the Family Dollar for something more productive. Surely their clientele has dried up anyhow with the rapid rise in median income in the area.

Surely will be redeveloped, though the fastest growing segment of shoppers at dollar stores have HHI of $100,000+

Well yeah, just think about how many items you can buy with $100k
