NEW Walgreen's construction begins on former Lincoln Park church site

Progress at 834 W Armitage new infill construction stand alone Walgreen's prior to the polar vortex weather.  Construction has probably been slowed by the very cold December and January.

Bob snapped a few shots last week of the new Lincoln Park Walgreen's site.   Curbed Chicago has some background and design renderings on the new urban Walgreen's in a prime Lincoln Park location at 834 West Armitage near North Halsted.

The former site of Greater Little Rock The Lord's Church at the corner of Armitage and Dayton for was sold for $2.65 million in August 2012.    Hallelujah!

800 block of West Armitage, Lincoln Park

I've said it a million times to clients... "You're going to love living near that Walgreen's (CVS et al)".  You can now pick up a pair of shoes at Lori's and a gallon of milk at Walgreen's in a couple minutes. 

But it will cost you.

Recent sales on this stretch have ranged $520,000 for a two bed, two bath condo next door at 838 W Armitage #3 to $1,200,000 for a very nice but relatively modest three bedrooms Lincoln Park single family home at 641 West Armitage.
