Focus Completes Build of River North Apartment Tower
Acting as general contractor, Focus announced the completion of construction on the 808 after receiving certificate of occupancy last month. The 23-story mixed-use tower at 808 N. Cleveland Ave. broke ground in October of 2021.
Built for clients DAC Developments and Bayview USA Holdings, the 8o8 features 200 rental apartments, 20,000 square feet of office and 7,500 square feet of retail. It’s situated on the south end of Cabrini Green, an area of the city which has seen a lack of investment in recent years, especially when it comes to affordable housing.
The 8o8 activates an underutilized pocket of the neighborhood while bringing 20 affordable units to River North.
“The impacts of this project were far reaching, like providing 8 local hires and developing new attainable housing — all while achieving the goals of our client by delivering the project on time and on budget,” said Josh Stark, EVP of construction.
