Lakeview

The 100-year former Lakeview State Bank building has a date with the wrecking ball

Work on the seven-story complex has been underway since the fall

The 127-year-old Vautravers Building was shifted 30 feet west to make room for the $2.1 billion Red-Purple Modernization project

"I'm not confident that it is worthy of our lakefront," said Planning Commissioner Maurice Cox

Crews will relocate the 127-year-old Vautravers Building out of the path of the new Red and Purple line tracks

The project would incorporate terra cotta accents from the existing building at 3160 N. Broadway

The five-story development replaces a demolished four-story apartment complex that was never occupied

The project would replace a strip mall

In the works for more than a decade, the lakefront green space is on track to open later this year

The two-building project would occupy one of the last undeveloped parcels along North Lake Shore Drive

The 8-story project brings 140 luxury units to the North Side neighborhood
