Fantastic. Great to see the Euclid corridor investment continue to march northward.

Safe to say these three are on the chopping block?


Based on one of the captionless photos in the nextstl article it looks like the developer may have acquired 1 of the 3 so far (the one on the left/east side).

^The Union Sarah Economic Development Corporation (USEDC) deserves a lot of praise for the work they did to preserve the neighborhood back in the day.

Would be a damned shame. The eastern one I believe is caving in but the western ones have been rehabbed sometime relatively recently, I know they have a new roof/hvac and are used for some sort of storage.

I believe there used to be a Jewish deli/restaurant in one of them back in the day.

I brought up some recent satellite imagery I have access to and you are correct about the eastern one. There is a pretty good sized hole in the back portion of the roof.

This is a fantastic project and should be a model for infill development elsewhere on Delmar. My only complaint is that it should have some kind of retail component on the corner of Euclid and Delmar. It would just make sense considering Euclid's pattern of retail centering on major cross streets, plus there are already spots for retail in the two existing buildings across the street. Even if the existing neighborhood cannot support it, we have to build for the future, especially in such an important corner.

^ I agree.

Guess which one of the three is owned by Roberts Bros.? I really hope this project avoids demo, but incorporating the facades a la that project on Olive a couple blocks south could be interesting.

Update from the PD:

Any movement on this?

Has anyone heard anything on this project? I just drove past today and the lot appears entirely unchanged.

I think it's dead. I'll check with Alderman Todd to see if he knows anything about the status. He's a new Alderman so I wouldn't expect to know much yet but you never know what Terry Kennedy gave him before he left. 

Long dead

Maybe this development never got off the ground but I believe there is demand for well placed micro apartments. Would like to see some developed in the Grove/Botanical Heights or along Morganford. I bet they would be quickly leased.

3201 Morgan Ford was supposed to be a micro unit development. That was shelved for now. But I could definitely see proposals for micro units in the Grove and CWE soon. Maybe even downtown. Botanical Heights, not yet.

Demo permit issued for 4710 Delmar

^ sigh. that's unfortunate. the white glazed brick facade and terracotta ornaments are gorgeous. it could easily be repurposed. and this demo will make it that much easier to erase the one next door as well.

From the Kingsway Delmar Elevation District TIF application. 

^ just saw that in the other thread. it would very definitely assuage my concerns about losing that cluster of small buildings. no more micro-apartments for this parcel, I guess.
