Featured Project: Near North

Near North Apartments


This five-story, 96-unit building in Chicago takes a fresh approach to SRO development with a remarkable design by noted architect Helmut Jahn.

Near North features many “green” elements rarely found in affordable housing developments, including aeroturbines, solar thermal collectors, a grey water system and recycled rainwater. Sponsor Mercy Lakefront, provides on-site supportive services that help formerly homeless residents reclaim their independence.
