Remember last fall when we discussed the fears of some Prospect Heights residents about the fate of 330 Park Place? Well, four out of five stories are up and, while it’s too early to tell on the finishes, their fears are starting to look founded. The only ray of hope is that the developer cared enough to preserve the ground floor facade and front porch. While this may have been purely out of self interest (along the lines of keeping one wall up to qualify for an alteration), maybe, just maybe, this guy is going to try to do something contextual (height issues aside). We’re not optimistic but we’ll try to keep the jury out on this one for a little longer. What’s the mood on the block? (Check out the construction from another angle on the jump.)
