Optima Launches First Lakeview Project

Optima, Inc. has begun construction on Optima Lakeview, a seven-story transit-oriented development in the North Side’s Lakeview neighborhood. Located at 3460 N. Broadway, Optima Lakeview will replace a shuttered Treasure Island grocery store and parking lot.
 
“With over 40 years of experience developing in Chicago, we know how exceptional design can enhance a community, so we’re excited to develop the first Optima building in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood,” said David C. Hovey Sr., CEO of Optima. “With Optima Lakeview, we’ve incorporated design cues from the surrounding area’s architecture while still staying true to the modern design aesthetic Optima is known for.”

Scheduled for completion in 2022, Optima Lakeview will feature 198 luxury one-, two- and three-bedroom rental units and nearly 14,000 square feet of commercial space fronting Broadway. Residents will have access to 40,000 square feet of amenities throughout the building.
