The first two buildings of the LeClaire Courts redevelopment in Garfield Ridge have received construction permits from the City of Chicago. The Habitat Company and Cabrera Capital Partners are co-developers with Solomon Cordwell Buenz behind the architectural planning. The permits designate The George Sollitt Construction Company of Wood Dale as the general contractor.
The Chicago Department of Planning and Development has approved plans for a new mixed-use complex at 4458 S Cicero Avenue in Garfield Ridge. Dubbed the Le Claire Courts, the project would replace a large empty parcel of land owned by the Chicago Housing Authority that is bound by W 45th Street to the south, S Cicero Avenue to the east, the I-55 expressway to the north, and the name-bearing LeClair Courts-Hearst Park to the west. Developers Cabrera Capital Partners and The Habitat Company formed a large design team lead by Solomon Cordwell Buenz Architects for the sprawling project.
