Related Midwest Reopens Springfield Housing Complex
Related Midwest recently celebrated the reopening of Poplar Place, a 100-unit affordable family apartment community in Springfield, Ill.
Related Midwest completed the $46.5 million redevelopment of Poplar Place, which was first constructed in 1950, through a collaboration with the city of Springfield, the Springfield Housing Authority and the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
LR Contracting Company, Related’s in-house construction arm, spearheaded the 15-month project, reducing density across the property and fully renovating 75 buildings. The redeveloped community comprises 50 single-family and 25 duplex homes, which are fully occupied.
In addition to modernizing the residences, Related Midwest created 2.5 acres of green space for social and recreational use. In addition, a new community center features a kitchen, management office, outdoor playground and walking paths.
