Chicago’s Largest Passive House Project Breaks Ground
City of Chicago officials and community partners gathered recently for the groundbreaking of the Humboldt Park Passive Living project in West Humboldt Park. As part of the Mayor’s Build Better Together initiative, the project at 750 N. Avers (formerly 3831 W. Chicago) will deliver a four-story affordable, mixed-use development with two commercial spaces.
Designed by Lamar Johnson Collaborative and developed by 548 Development, the project is slated to be the largest building in the City of Chicago to incorporate Passive House Design standards. The project includes 60 affordable units, with 13 units reserved for people with disabilities.
“This project hits on the pillars of the Build Better Together initiative, and then some,” said A.J. Patton, CEO of 548 Development. “We’re delivering quality housing to those at or below the median income of the area, reducing monthly utility costs for tenants, growing jobs, and preserving the neighborhood’s identity at the same time. This is an all-around win for Chicago.”
