This is a complex of three buildings on the NE corner of Union and Waterman, two of which were damaged in a fire about a month ago.  The corner building was waiting for repairs from the tornado, the second and third buildings are attached to each other and the middle of the three was the one most badly damaged.  Walked by yesterday and all three are fenced off with Demolition in Progress signs.  Anyone have any info?  The corner building doesn’t look like it can’t be repaired, I don’t know the extent of the damage to the other two except for what is visible in the second pic.  Would hate to see them come down.

Damn that sucks. 

These are beautiful some of my favorite apt buildings in the city (pretty rare that they have balconies), wouldn't this have to go before the preservation board?

That’s just awful news

We gotta get the fire problem in this city under control. It’s 2026

Are they even allowed to demo without a permit??  and isn't this a historic district?

No. Maybe by demo, they mean interior demo.
It's in the CWE historic district.

I emailed Michael Browning about this, his reply:
"Thank you for that. I agree that demolition would be terrible for the neighborhood and hope that the buildings can be saved. I've already been engaged with the building division on this."

I was told that the building is owned by the same people as Lux Living.

Yikes, I hope that's not true. The buildings weren't listed on citywide's website though that's apparently now been taken down
