“Demolition permits have been issued to clear the way for a new mixed-use development at 3037 N. Lincoln. Planned by 3027-37 LINCOLN LLC, the project will occupy a midblock site along N. Lincoln Ave between W. Wellington Ave and W. Barry Ave.

“Designed by Hanna Architects, plans or renderings for the new project have not been released, but permit filings indicate the project will be a four-story mixed-use building. The ground floor will have retail space as well as a garage with 15 parking spaces. The upper three floors will have 15 residential units with a rooftop deck for residents.

“To make way for the project, a three-story masonry building at 3027 N. Lincoln, a two-story masonry building at 3029 N. Lincoln, and a three-story masonry building at 3037 N. Lincoln will all be demolished. Builder Luxury Inc will be the general contractor for the project who can begin clearing the site to make way for the project. The new construction permit has been filed and is awaiting issuance.” (Kugler, Urbanize Chicago, 7/28/24)

“The Strand opened in 1914, located on Lincoln Avenue near Southport Avenue and Wellington Avenue in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. By the 1940’s, the theater had been renamed the City Theater, which operated into the 1960’s. After closing the building housed a carpeting store.” (Cinema Treasures)
