Demo permits issued to make way for 1100 W. Grand

A set of demolition permits have been issued to clear the way for a mixed-use development at 1100 W. Grand. Planned by Wildwood Investments and Contemporary Concepts, the trapezoidal site is located at the intersection of W. Grand Ave and N. Aberdeen St. The large flagpole on the property is managed by local developer Sterling Bay. 

Designed by bKL Architecture, the new mixed-use building will stand seven floors tall, clad in a mix of glass and metal paneling. The building’s form and massing have been designed to accommodate the large flag and flagpole on the northeast corner of the site, allowing for it to remain after the building is constructed. Developer Sterling Bay will continue to maintain the flagpole.

With 99 residential units, the project’s unit mix will include 10 studios, 20 convertibles, 22 one-beds, 36 two-beds, and 11 three-beds. The ground floor will hold 1,500 square feet of retail space facing the street paired next to the residential lobby in the center of the street frontage. A bike room and leasing office are located between the residential lobby and retail space. Amenity space and a rooftop deck will be included for residents on the seventh floor.

With a total of 28 parking spaces, the building will have a garage along the back of the building that will hold 24 spaces in a diagonal layout that includes an access point from W. Grand Ave and through the alley. An additional four spaces in a private garage area will be accessed from the alley.

Addressed at 1110 W. Grand, the first demolition permit will allow for the clearing of a one-story masonry building. A one-story garage building at 540 N. Aberdeen will also be demolished. Precision Excavating is the demolition contractor for the project. Permits for the new construction have been filed and are undergoing the permit review process.
