Demolition Begins At Former Children's Memorial Site

Demolition Begins At Former Children's Memorial Site

After years of discussion and a variety of plans, the demolition permits have been issued for the former site of the Children's Memorial Hosptial in Lincoln Park.

The plan for the full site, which will save a selection of the historic buildings (including the white terra cotta buildings at Lincoln/Fullerton/Halsted) includes a nine-story building at 2323 N. Lincoln Ave.  It will ultimately include 540 rental apartments, 60 condos, over 1,000 parking spaces, 160,000 square feet of retail space and 156 rooms of senior housing.

In short, the development has the potential to change Lincoln Park and will certainly transform its immediate vicinity.
