City and state officials celebrate ribbon cutting for Pedro Albizu Campos apartments

Senator Dick Durbin, 26th Ward Alderman Jessie Fuentes, Chicago DOH Commissioner Lissette Castaneda, and CHA CEO Tracey Scott joined developer Hispanic Housing Development Corporation to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Pedro Albizu Campos apartments. Located at 1203 N. California, the project sits at the southeast corner of Humboldt Park, at the intersection of N. California Ave and W Division St.

With a design from Pappageorge Haymes Partners, the affordable building stands nine floors above the street. Rising 95 feet, the building features 64 affordable units, made up of 9 one-beds, 15 two-beds, and 40 three-bedroom apartments. 31 units will be rented to those making 30% AMI, 18 units at 50% AMI, and 14 units at 60% AMI. Tenants will have access to 19 car parking spaces and 49 bike parking spaces. 

On the ground floor, the building will offer 2,500 square feet of ground floor retail space that will front W. Division St. Along N. California Ave, a community room will hold the corner with the residential entry at the north end of the building. Amenities include an outdoor deck that will include private garden plots, a fitness center on the ground floor, and EV charging stations in the garage. 

With Path Construction Company listed as the general contractor, the construction is now complete, and the building is open for residents to move in.
