The northwest corner of Sheridan Road and Irving Park Road is coming down to make way for a seven-story, 91-unit apartment building at 4006 N. Sheridan Rd., and by late October there was not much left of the old row.
Block Club Chicago reported on Oct. 25 that demolition had taken the former Holiday Club at 4000 N. Sheridan, an adjacent apartment building, and the storefronts that held El Palmar and Roots Smoke & Vapor Shop. Catapult Real Estate Solutions is the developer. The new building, designed by Built Form, is planned with 91 apartments, 38 parking spaces and about 2,000 square feet of retail. The city issued a building permit in early August, Block Club wrote, along with demolition permits. In February 2025, the Zoning Board of Appeals allowed the parking to be cut from 91 spaces to 38 because of nearby transit, dropped the required loading berth, and allowed residential use on the first floor, according to city records cited in that report.
Chicago YIMBY published updated renderings in October that show a two-story stretch of the east facade reusing terracotta taken off the old buildings, and said nearly 300 pallets of brick had already been hauled away for reuse. Summit Design + Build is the general contractor, and permits for caissons and the full structure have been issued, YIMBY reported. A completion date has not been announced in those accounts.
Renderings show terracotta on the Sheridan Road side. Whether any of the original masonry actually goes back on the wall is the detail neighbors will be able to see once the new facade starts to go up.
