Didn't Even Have a Chance
The steel skeleton of Fresh Foods Market in Libertyville, IL has stood unfinished since 2007. It was going to to be an upscale grocery store.
Before, a Franks Nursery and Crafts stood here. The pile of rubble in the foreground is from the demolition of that building many years ago.
I'm not quite sure on the full story of this place; but I believe many issues with contractors resulted in so many delays that the construction permit expired.
Libertyville is trying to sue the developers and force them to demolish the now rotting structure. Parts of the roof are beginning to show signs of future collapse.
It's located on Milwaukee Ave across from the new Lowes. It's practically down the street from where I work. Will be town down in 2010.

UPDATE: Demolished January 2010. Site is now Trader Joe's.
