A century-old brick apartment building just northwest of Wrigley Field has been demolished to make way for four new luxury condominiums at 1230–1234 W. Grace Street in Wrigleyville. Here’s a look at what stood on the site—and what is coming next.
Before: The Original Grace Street Building
The two-story masonry building dated to the early 1910s. Historical assessment records describe a six-apartment property with approximately 8,494 square feet of building area. Other real estate records date its construction to 1915. Developer Bresani LLC purchased the property in February 2026 for $1.84 million.
Demolition began in June 2026 after the city issued a permit on June 3. Crews salvaged pallets of bricks as the old building came down.
After: Four New Condominiums
Designed by 360 Design Studio and being built by Platinum Homes, the replacement is a three-story, four-unit condominium building with a basement. Each duplex residence is planned with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The project also includes rooftop outdoor space, rear porches and a detached four-car garage topped by a deck.
The city issued the new-construction permit in May 2026, with a reported permit construction cost of $785,000. Foundation work was underway by July, and the developer has projected completion in summer 2027.
The change replaces a six-unit vintage apartment building with four larger new-construction homes, another example of the residential redevelopment reshaping the blocks around Wrigley Field.
