A vintage two-flat with a coach house located in the charming Arlington-Deming Historic District of Lincoln Park will be demolished. My business partner Bob resides in Lincoln Park near this block and noticed the fencing yesterday at 516-518 West Arlington Place, Chicago IL 60614. A quick check at my www.Chicagocityscape.com account shows a demo permit had been issued September 25th, 2020. The RM-6 zoning means a taller building with more units is permitted on the lot.

The building has some history with zoning and development struggles. Back in 2006 the owner at the time tried to redevelopment the parcel despite the down-zoning of the block in 2002. The plans were rejected by the 43rd Ward alderman and Chicago Plan Commission at the time. That same owner purchased the building in 1996 for $340,000 and recently sold the parcel this year for $2,900,000 (sale was recorded in January of this year, source Cook County Recorder of Deeds). Not bad!
No permits have been issued for new construction on the site as of yet and I have not seen a proposal on the 43rd Ward alderman site.
