Michaels Organization Proposal Wins Chicago’s West Side Design Competition
A seven-story, 63-unit, all-affordable apartment building was announced by Mayor Lori Lightfoot Monday as the winning proposal to redevelop vacant city land adjacent to the CTA Green Line in East Garfield Park. Called Hub 32, the 78,000-square-foot building is planned to include 14 one-, 34 two- and 15 three-bedroom apartments to be rented at rates affordable to households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income.
The $47.2-million equitable Transit-Oriented Development (eTOD) project by The Michaels Organization, KMW Communities and TruDelta Real Estate was selected over two competing proposals for the 0.49-acre site at 132 N. Kedzie Ave. The proposals were evaluated for community wealth building potential, economic feasibility, and professional and technical competence.
“The inclusion of design features and amenities that reflect the desires of the community, along with the development team’s demonstrated history of successfully executing catalytic projects, made this proposal stand out,” said Lightfoot.
