This whole corner of the Gold Coast is soon to be wiped clean.
Say goodbye to McFadden’s. And Hash House a Go-Go. And P.J. Clarke’s, Tip Top Inn, Palette Chicago, Chase Bank, Paradise Cantina, Five Faces Ice Cream, and whatever else has ever been on the northwest corner of State Parkway and Division Street in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Because it’s all coming down.
A bunch of demolition permits were issued January 2nd, allowing for the removal of the edifices at 1200, 1204, 1206, and 1210 North State, and 10 West Division. Which may or may not include what was once Mothers Too, though that address was 14 West. 10 and 14 might be considered one building.
Heneghan Wrecking is tasked with the tear downs, and it looks like they might be making space for this, according to the Chicago Architecture Blog. The permits don’t help much with developer info; Good Luck Glades LLC? Sunny Glade LLC? Loockout LLC? What the heck are those? And what’s with the “12 and 3-story building” on the 1204 permit? Confusion reigns.
