Funding has been fully approved for the next phase of the Lathrop Homes redevelopment at 2712 North Hoyne Avenue, near the boundary of Lincoln Park. Focusing on the southern portion of the historic housing complex, this phase builds on the success of previous efforts, which reimagined the structures north of West Diversey Parkway, the street that splits the complex in half.
A groundbreaking has been held for a new mixed-use affordable development at 6301 South Western Avenue in Chicago Lawn. Located at the intersection with West 63rd Street and replacing a now-demolished commercial structure, the project has been in the works for several years, having received city approval over a year ago.
The Chicago Community Development Commission has approved major renovation plans for the existing senior living building at 3211 East 91st Street in South Chicago. Located at the intersection with South Brandon Avenue near the state border, the building is known as Villa Guadalupe and is owned by Claretian Associates.
The City of Chicago, along with the Department of Housing, has announced a major investment in the preservation and construction of affordable housing across the city. Revealed earlier this week, the funding will go to 15 different projects, which also include market-rate housing. This comes as the mayor has ousted the head of the CHA board due to a dispute over its CEO.
The Chicago Community Development Commission has approved TIF funds for the mixed-use development known as Hub 32 in East Garfield Park. Located at 132 North Kedzie Avenue, the project was part of a three-lot RFQ issued by the city a few years ago. The project also saw design updates late last year as it continues to move through the approval process.
