Urban View, a Spanish public company, has submitted plans to convert a late 19th-century Romanesque Revival church in Prospect Heights into eight residential apartments. The project will involve adding a fourth story, raising the building by 15 feet. While the church structure is not landmarked, the specifics regarding what parts will remain intact are unclear. Urban View recently acquired the property for $5.6 million, which has historically been owned by religious organizations. Preliminary city records indicate that a rear extension is already slated for demolition as part of the renovations.
Urban View aims to convert a late 19th-century Romanesque Revival church in Prospect Heights into eight apartments, preserving parts of the original structure.
The project would add an extra floor, raising the building to four stories, but it’s unclear how much of the church will remain intact.
The church, not landmarked, has changed hands multiple times, consistently remaining under religious ownership until Urban View's recent purchase.
City records reveal that the church’s two-story rear extension has been approved for demolition, indicating progress in Urban View's plans.
