CIBC Finances Logan Square Affordable Housing Project

CIBC has announced financing for an affordable housing initiative, including a $17.6 million construction loan, a $708,000 permanent loan and a $26 million investment in Boulevard Apartments Preservation, LP. The funding will be used to acquire and rehabilitate the existing Boulevard Apartments in Chicago.

“The Boulevard Apartments project is an important step towards addressing the affordable housing crisis in Chicago,” said Tony Hernandez, head of Community Investment at CIBC Bank USA. “By preserving and improving these units, we are committed to creating stable and affordable housing options for low-income individuals and families in the community.”

The project, which consists of three buildings including a mix of 70 units ranging from studio to four-bedroom floorplans, aims to maintain affordable housing in Chicago’s Logan Square, West Town and Humboldt Park neighborhoods. Renovations will include modernized appliances, new energy-efficient furnaces, and electrical systems and light fixtures upgrades.

Connect Industrial Midwest 2024 will take place on March 5, 2024, at Joe’s Live in Rosemont, Illinois. Click here for more information and to register.
