The Historic Review Commission Wednesday approved Burns & Scalo Real Estate's plans to renovate the former Goodwill headquarters at 2600 E. Carson St., South Side, and build a new back entrance for residential use.

The seven-story Renaissance Revival building will have 87 apartments above a street level of retail.

The renovation is part of a $27 million Burns & Scalo project that includes an Aldi supermarket nearby. The commission last month approved demolition of a building to make way for the supermarket. On Tuesday, Common Pleas Court Judge Joseph James issued an order on architect Gerald Morosco's appeal of that approval. He sustained the preliminary objection, dismissed the appeal and lifted the stay of demolition. A written opinion explaining the order will come out today.
