Don't raze, renovate

Deming Row Condominiums, a $43-million conversion of 106 apartments, is underway in a series of six vintage buildings on North Hampden Court, West Deming Place and North Clark Street in East Lincoln Park.
"Deming Row Condominiums offers a rare chance to purchase a renovated, upscale condominium in the exclusive East Lincoln Park neighborhood, only steps from acres of parkland and Lake Michigan," said veteran developer Harold Lichterman of Kenard Corp. "While dotted with vintage buildings the block is not a landmark district," Lichterman noted. "We decided to save the buildings, although we could have razed them and developed a much larger residential project on what potentially would have been a half-block of vacant land."
Phase I of the development, a joint venture of Kenard Corp. and Wexner/Greenberg Associates, Inc., involves the conversion of the 64-unit Hampden Park Condominiums East at 2600 N. Hampden Ct. The 7-story elevator building was designed by architect Aubrey Greenberg and built in 1967 on the tree-lined street. Prices of remaining units in Phase I range from $192,000 to $349,000. Assessments for available residences range from about $119 to $203.
