Uptown Preservation Phase 3, Chicago, IL

This project is the third phase of the Uptown Preservation Apartments Rehab. Located in the historical district of the Uptown neighborhood, this project is the moderate rehab of  2 existing 1920's residential courtyard buildings composing of 59 affordable rental units.  These buildings were last rehabbed in the late 80s and require a moderate amount of repairs. The approach we are taking with this project is slightly different from ones we've worked on in the past. The focus will be to address the rehab in long term improvements such as securing the building envelope, upgrading the mechanical systems to high energy efficiency as well as using solar hot water heaters to account for 50% of the demand, and renovating all tenant common areas and kitchens.
