Evergreen Real Estate Tops Off Seniors Apartments in Suburban Chicago

Chicago-based Evergreen Real Estate Group announced the topping-off of Leyden Senior Apartments, a four-story, 80-unit independent senior living community in Franklin Park, Illinois, in Chicago’s near-west suburbs.

Located at 2506 N. Mannheim Road, Leyden Senior Apartments will offer 72 one-bedroom and eight two-bedroom residences, designed for seniors aged 62 or older, with incomes at or below 60% of the area median income.

Designed by Weese Langley Klein Architects, Leyden Senior Apartments will include a community room, fitness room, lounge spaces, laundry rooms and a patio. The Carl Fiorito Senior Center also was designed by Weese Langley Klein Architects and will be owned and operated by Leyden Township.

The residential development is being financed through the Illinois Housing Development Authority, Bank of America, Hudson Housing, Leyden Township and the Cook County Department of Planning and Development. Mesirow Financial participated in the underwriting syndicate for the IHDA financing and served as the lead underwriter for Leyden Township’s General Obligation bond offering.
