Last week we gave you an update on the demolition happening at 676 North LaSalle Street. That’s where a non-descript office building is being turned into apartments, getting a townhouse hat, and expanding laterally. Well, the demolition phase must be nearing completion because the City of Chicago has issued construction permits for a foundation for the expansion portion of the project.
