Ribbon is Cut at First Phase of Townhome Complex in East Garfield Park

Structured Development joined project partners Thursday for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark completion of the first phase of Harrison Row Townhomes, which will ultimately include up to 50 affordable for-sale townhomes in the West Side’s East Garfield Park neighborhood.
 
Built under Chicago’s Affordable Requirements Ordinance (ARO), the townhomes create homeownership opportunities for low-income and working-class families. Three of the residences are already under contract.
 
“In the past, most units built under the ARO were smaller studio and one-bedroom plans that were almost exclusively rentals, so this is truly filling a need in the market, particularly with limited resale inventory available,” said Mike Drew, founding principal of Structured Development.

The March 25 event also kicked off the second phase of Harrison Row, which will include an additional 26 townhomes. Fain’s Development, LLC, a community-based minority development firm, will act as a full joint venture partner on a portion of the next phase
