The owners plan to demolish three century-old buildings to make way for new apartments with rooftop pickleball courts and parkingThree century-old buildings across from Wrigley Field — that once offered rooftop seats to view the stadium — could soon be demolished to make way for a five-story apartment building.
Sorenson, who has lived near the Sheffield buildings for 18 years, said Lawson has been “hiding this project” after introducing it in February to the East Lake View Neighbors group. The February meeting had a small audience, according to Sorenson, and a meeting in March drew about 60 members. But she said many residents couldn’t make the community meetings due to work or having to care for their children.
“The area surrounding Wrigley Field holds so much significance for many people across our city, and I am pleased that the proposal reflects feedback expressed by neighbors and will bring additional housing to the 44th Ward,” Lawson said. “I look forward to seeing the development receive approval from the full City Council in the weeks to come.”
