JV Completes Auburn Gresham Affordable Housing Project

Evergreen Real Estate Group, Imagine Group and KLEO Enterprises have completed the Auburn Gresham Apartments, a two-building, 58-unit affordable housing community in Chicago’s South Side.

The mixed-use buildings were developed in a joint venture between Evergreen and developer Imagine, in collaboration with KLEO Enterprises, the Chicago Department of Planning and Development, and the Chicago Department of Housing.

“The investments we are seeing today on the South Side will ensure that Chicago continues to grow and thrive not just today but for generations to come,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “We want to continue to attract people, businesses, and jobs to Chicago, particularly to our South and West Sides, and these projects in Auburn Gresham are an important step forward for our city.”

Auburn Gresham Apartments features a three-story building with 28 one- to three-bedroom apartments, 28 parking spaces, and 5,200 square feet of retail space as well as a five-story building with 30 one- to three-bedroom apartments, 14 parking spaces, and 3,300 square feet of commercial space.
