Facade work is now underway at 508 E Pershing Road, where The Community Builders has planned a four-story mixed-use building. With a roof height of 50 feet, the structure will offer 3,500 square feet of at-grade commercial space and 53 residential units planned for the upper floors. Approximately two-thirds of these units will be designated as affordable under the Chicago Housing Authority, while the remaining will be market rate apartments. Sizes are distributed into 50 one-bedrooms and three two-bedrooms.

The design by Nia Architects and Antunovich Associates involves a layer of stone around the base, with a mix of brick, cement, and metal paneling on the upper floors. Current progress photos show that most of the brick portion has now been installed, offering a glimpse of the building’s final appearance.
