City officials and executives of the Chicago Housing Authority will be in attendance as the ribbon is cut for this seven-story high-rise featuring modern, dramatic architecture, spacious apartment homes, and 16,000 square feet of ground-level retail. The community’s amenities include a beautifully landscaped deck with outdoor seating and a fireplace off the second floor, and a community garden. On the building’s seventh-floor rooftop, there is a working apiary that is home to multiple honey beehives. Green features include radiant floor heat, solar hot water and Energy-Star appliances and fixtures.

Featuring studios, one-, two, and three-bedroom apartments, the majority of the financing for the $39 million development came from private equity raised from the sale of federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Clybourn 1200 also received significant support from the Chicago Housing Authority and the City of Chicago. The land was donated by the city.
