Core Spaces is proposing to demolish a dozen buildings largely used for student housing for the six- to 12-story structure called “Madison McCormick” on North Broom Street between West Gorham and West Johnson streets. The proposal would raze structures from 304-318 N. Broom St., 407 W. Gorham St. and 408-430 W. Johnson St. 

The existing buildings range from a single-family home at 308 N. Broom St. to a 42-unit apartment building at 430 W. Johnson St.
