Four demolition permits issued by the City of Chicago on September 22 will clear space for a single-family home permitted back in August. A duplex multi-unit residence spanning 2145 to 2149 West Bradley Place in North Center, as well as the two-unit homes on both sides of it at 2143 and 2151 West Bradley, will be razed by Builder Luxury, with the demo permits citing a reported cost of $20,000 for each one of them.

According to real estate listings, all four addresses held two units apiece, and the three structures were all erected in 1910 or 1911. The entity of Golars LLC on Milwaukee Avenue purchased the connected buildings in one transaction for about $3.4 million this winter. A site visit the day after the permits were issued showed demolition fencing already surrounding the properties. Not surprising, since it had been nearly eight weeks since permission was granted to start new construction.

That permit was issued on August 5 to 2151 West Bradley Place for a two-story plus basement single-family residence. The application was filed on June 17, and the permit came through with a reported cost of $8.256 million. There is to be a detached three-car garage with a rooftop deck and pergola. 360 Design Studio is named as the architect of record, and R.E.A.S. Corp of Wheeling, IL is the general contractor.

While YIMBY has been unable to confirm there will be only one improvement on the four lots, there are no other permits pending in the Chicago Data Portal. And it’s likely a home with a reported cost of over $8 million will need a lot of space. It is not clear if this home is will be built on spec, or if a buyer is already in place.
