Construction at 1257 W Roosevelt Road in Little Italy has now surpassed the second, with Related Midwest and the Chicago Housing Authority overseeing the development. The six-story mixed-use structure is part of the broader Roosevelt Square Phase 3B project, which includes three other buildings. This Phase 3B will offer a combination of homes, shops, and the soon-to-open National Museum of Public Housing just to the north. Once finished, the broader Roosevelt Square master development will have 2,441 single- and multi-family housing units.

The project will also provide parking for 40 cars, split between an indoor area on the first floor and outdoor spaces at the back.
