I noticed a paper sign advertising that hotel and it's restaurant in one of the windows and the beginnings of work being done on the building earlier this year. But recently, that sign has been removed and I'm not seeing any reference to the project on their website.
I really hope that doesn't mean the hotel conversion has fallen through. That seemed like an great way to reactivate a stately landmarked building at a prominent corner.
There's fencing around Brodaway Plaza mall at Broadway and Berwyn. It was bought in 2006 by Chody Real Estate (https://www.chodyre.com/properties), who seem to just do strip malls. They've been letting all the tenants go, so I guess the plan is to redevelop it into an updated version of the same? I don't see any permits, but I was wondering if anybody knew what the plan is. Sad that that stretch of Broadway is doomed to stay terrible.
Demo permit was issued yesterday. Apparently they're going to replace the 1 story building on the corner with a new 1 story commercial building and renovate all the other business spaces.
I mean, looking at Chody's featured properties, there weren't exactly high hopes for this one. Unrelated fun fact: Lance Chody's wife owns Garrett's Popcorn
