(Crain’s) — A deal between developer J. Paul Beitler and St. Andrews’s Greek Orthodox Chicago to develop a high-rise condominium on a site adjacent to the Edgewater church is falling apart, nine months after the collapse of another transaction with a different developer on the same site.

The three-acre site is located just south of the church, 5649 N. Sheridan Rd. In a letter to parishioners, dated Nov. 5, congregation President Evan J. Mammas says Mr. Beitler is seeking to renegotiate a letter of intent. “Due to the change in the economic climate, the cost of construction, the demands imposed by the Edgewater community and the parking requirements imposed by the alderman, Beitler Real Estate … has requested that they restructure their proposal,” according to the letter , which was also signed by the church’s pastor, Rev. John Kalomas, “At this time, the Parish Council believes that any restructured proposal would be rejected and have so advised the developer.”
