Since 2018, at least three proposals have been submitted and subsequently rejected for the two-story, 14,700-square-foot building at 6330 W. North Ave.
However, a successful proposal was presented to the city in 2023 to transform the building into Idyll Coffee Roasters, a coffee shop, roasting facility and community hub. And that plan is moving forward.
Behind the project are two couples: Karen Kurgan and Peter Sohnle and Dave and Amy Tamburrino. They’ve enlisted Galbraith Carnahan Architects and Dahlman Construction to assist in redeveloping the property.
