The proposal from Hendricks Commercial Properties calls for 36,000 square feet of ground-level retail space and 120 high-end apartments. It had met resistance from the Nora-Northside Community Council, which objected to the building's height and its closeness to 86th Street.

Young said the vacant Woodfield Centre was demolished in the last 30 days.
