Skender Completes Renovation of West Side Apartment Buildings
Skender and its joint venture partner, Blackwood Group, completed the renovations of two West Side senior living apartment buildings in partnership with the Chicago Housing Authority and Michaels Development. The combined 400,000-square-foot renovation, designed by Canopy Architecture, brings both senior living facilities up to modern standards.
Located at 3700 W Congress Parkway in East Garfield Park, the 17-story, 150-unit Irene McCoy Gaines Apartments property was built in 1964. All units underwent renovations, including updated HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems. New amenity spaces, an exterior courtyard, and an upgraded laundry spaces were also added.
The Albany Terrace Apartments are located at 3030 W 21st Place in South Lawndale, and the 17-story, 350-unit senior complex was built in 1974. The building underwent a revitalization to upgrade resident units, amenity common spaces, and HVAC systems, including electrical and plumbing systems.
“Beyond the construction, this project creates lasting benefits in the community, ensuring high-quality, accessible housing for generations to come,” said Afshan Barshan, Senior Vice President at Skender Construction.
