A fixture in Cabrini-Green is going the way of much of the neighborhood, with new plans in motion to turn the Romanesque St. Dominic's Church on North Sedgewick into a six-story residential building. As reported by Chicago Architecture Blog, the updated plans call for the double-towered brick church, built in 1905 and closed since 1990, to be replaced with a 6-story, 45-unit building designed by Sullivan Goulette & Wilson Architects featuring a south-facing, second-floor terrace and enclosed parking for bikes and cars.
The new proposal, which replaces a condo plan from last year that had Axios Architects & Consultants Ltd. attached, is the latest play on a long-vacant lot. Fueled by a real estate upswing and new tech jobs in the area, River North has been booming. If completed, the new building would have plenty of competition nearby, including the forthcoming $140 million, 310-unit Fifield-backed tower at Chestnut and Orleans. Be sure to head over to the Chicago Architecture Blog, which has more info and renderings for this project.
