All of the apartments will be set aside for low- and moderate-income Chicagoans, with rents ranging from $925 per month to $1,250 per month, officials said.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot breaks ground on a 58-unit apartment complex on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022.
“The community felt that it was out of context, too dense for one site, so we started over again,” Cox said.The building at 838 W. 79th St. will include an AYO Foods store, which sells West African food, and the building at 757 W. 79th St. will include the new home of KLEO Community Center and the Park Supper Club, officials said.
The program calls for the city to spend $750 million in public money by October to address the fundamental problems that have tormented South and West side communities for decades, including a lack of jobs and few inviting places to shop, gather and have fun. The project’s groundbreaking turned into an impromptu campaign rally for Lightfoot, who is running for re-election against seven announced challengers. The hour-long event ended after Imagine Group principal Torrey Barrett, one of the developers of the project, sparked a chant of “four more years” after endorsing Lightfoot for re-election.
