Condos at Boys and Girls Club Still Delayed

Category: Affordable condos. Posted by Mike at 10:26 pm.

The proposed condominium development that meant moving the location of the Union League Boys and Girls Club a year ago is still on the books. However, work on the project in West Town hasn’t yet begun.

Mirro Construction is the company behind the proposed conversion of the building into 13 condominiums. The project is an important step in the revitalization of Grand Avenue, as local community leaders work to attract new businesses and residential developments to the area.

The club opened more than 80 years ago, and has been a meeting point for children from around the neighborhood ever since. However, after the program moved to its new home at Talbott School, attendance has shot up by nearly 50 percent.

When the developer plans to continue with the project remains to be seen. Rumors of a car accident suffered by the developer couldn’t be verified. Also, as the market for Chicago condos suffers a downturn in sales, the viability of the project could be one of the main hurdles to jump.

The Grand Avenue neighborhood offers affordable homes and condominiums, and has seen some progress in revitalizing the area and attracting new residents. Find great deals on Chicago Condos For Sale around the neighborhood today.
