Since YIMBY’s last update, brick facade work has made significant progress at Broadway Youth Center, a new five-story interdisciplinary wellness center by Howard Brown Health. Situated at 1023 W Irving Park Road in Lake View, the project will be geared towards LGBTQ youth ages 12-24, particularly those who do not have stable housing situations.

The building will offer a variety of functions, including a health clinic, community spaces, counseling rooms, social and career services, and dance and movement rooms spanning two floors. With Wheeler Kearns Architects behind the design, the exterior incorporates a red brick cladding with various patterns, while the interior utilizes a dynamic color palette. At the front of the structure will be additional landscaping to welcome visitors and staff.

The facility is replacing a former construction project that was ultimately demolished due to construction flaws. At a reported cost $11.5 million, the current construction is being carried out by Bulley & Andrews, with work expected to wrap up around Q3 of this year.
