Where this stands
Full demolition of a twice-fire-damaged three-story type 5 mixed-use building (Category A historic resource) at the corner of Columbus and Union across from Washington Square. Building historically contained 30-35 residential units (approximately 28 rent-controlled). Redbridge Partners is the larger management company; Powell Partners LLC is the specific LLC. A 2021 state density bonus application proposed preserving existing walls with roughly 24-25 units; a newer proposal under discussion contemplates approximately 81-89 units with 15% affordable and a height around 100 feet. Site is on the state Cortese list requiring soil remediation. Emergency demolition permit issued pursuant to DBI emergency order; appeal continued to May 20, 2026.
