Demolition permit issued for structure at 1152 W. Carroll

A demolition permit has been issued for a two-story masonry structure at 1152 W. Carroll. Located on a full-block site, the property is bound by N. May St to the east, W. Carroll Ave to the south, N. Racine Ave to the west, and the Metra tracks to the north.

With developer Trammell Crow behind the demolition, future plans are currently unknown for the site. According to The Real Deal, Trammell Crow purchased the property from a venture of Shapack Partners for $23.4 million back in 2022.

Across the street to the east, Trammell Crow’s subsidiary High Street Residential is currently building a 34-story residential tower at 1114 W. Carroll. The building will rise 370 feet tall with 368 apartments, ground floor retail, and a 35,000-square-foot park.

Trammell Crow has also received a demolition permit to clear the way for their planned office tower across the way at 315 N. May. The 26-story office tower will stand 410 feet tall with 650,000 square feet of office space inside. 

With the demolition permit issued for 1152 W. Carroll, demolition contractor Taylor Excavating & Construction can move forward with clearing the site. Future plans for the site would need city review before anything could move forward.
