$200M Lawndale Project Celebrates Milestone
Habitat joined Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, local and federal officials, project partners and current residents to commemorate two significant milestones at OC Living, a new community in the North Lawndale neighborhood within the $200 million Ogden Commons mixed-use project.
The event celebrated the grand opening of OC Living, the project’s first residential building, and the groundbreaking for OC Living Phase A2, the community’s second residential building. The city has committed to a $9 million investment in the upcoming Phase A2 building, and 23% of the project’s total development costs are covered by Chicago TIF funds.
Located at 1325 S. Washtenaw Ave., the four-story OC Living building includes apartments just steps from Ogden Commons’ 45,000-square-foot commercial building. Developed by Habitat, along with Sinai Chicago, Alecko Capital and the city of Chicago, Ogden Commons is among the city’s largest opportunity zone projects. McHugh Construction and Bowa Construction are serving as general contractors, and Bank of America is among the development’s other partners.
