Affordable housing at 6301 S. Western breaks ground

A mixed-use affordable development at 6301 S. Western recently celebrated its groundbreaking. Planned by Southwest Organizing Project and Brinshore Development, the project will be located at the southeast corner of the intersection of S. Western Ave and W. 63rd Street. 

Designed by K2 Studio, the new five-story building will stand approximately 65 feet tall. On the ground floor, the building will have 2,250 square feet of retail space as well as a fitness room and community room all fronting S. Western Ave. The residential lobby will be accessed from W. 63rd St and a shared laundry room will be included behind the lobby. A surface parking lot will have 11 car parking spaces accessed via a curb cut along W. 63rd St.

The upper four floors will hold all 44 residential units, which will all be affordable. 

With the full building permit already issued and the groundbreaking now celebrated, general contractor Toro Construction will begin construction on the $22.5 million development. Work is expected to be completed in Spring 2027.
