Optima Lakeview in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood has begun pre-leasing

Optima Tops Off Lakeview Rentals

Optima, Inc. recently topped off Optima Lakeview, a seven-story, 198-unit luxury rental building with 14,000 square feet of street-level retail in the North Side’s Lakeview neighborhood. Designed by Optima CEO David Hovey Sr., Optima Lakeview is projected to open to residents in spring 2022.
 
Under Optima’s vertically integrated model, the firm has served as both designer and general contractor of the low-rise Class A building at 3460 N. Broadway. Work on the building, which is within walking distance of Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field and is rising on the site of a closed Treasure Island grocery store, began five months ago.
 
“Optima Lakeview is the culmination of the vision our firm had four decades ago to design and build communities from blueprint to move-ins,” said David Hovey Jr., president and COO of Optima, Inc. “I’m especially proud to celebrate this construction milestone with our in-house team.”
