Lakeview Landing celebrates ribbon cutting at 835 W. Addison

Mayor Brandon Johnson, 44th Ward Alderman Lawson, IHDA Executive Director Kristen Faust, DOH Commissioner Lissette Castaneda, and MOPD Commissioner Rachel Arfa recently joined Over the Rainbow Association and Lakeview Lutheran Church to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the newly completed Lakeview Landing affordable housing project at 835 W. Addison. 

“Lakeview Landing demonstrates what the city and community can do when we commit to dignity, accessibility and inclusion,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “I am proud to help cut the ribbon to this project and take another step in our journey to build and preserve housing across Chicago that is safe, affordable, and suited to each community’s specific needs.” 

Designed by Weese Langley Weese, the six-story development will include 37 residential units, ground floor religious assembly space, and 10 parking spaces. The building will also include a shared laundry room and offices. 

The 37 affordable rental units will all be one-bedroom layouts and be for households earning 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Two homes are reserved to serve as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSI) through which residents will be paired with nearby mental health services. Every unit is designed to be fully accessible, ensuring inclusive housing for residents with disabilities

The $52 million project received $5.8 million in financing and capital support from the Department of Housing (DOH), which supplemented funding provided by IHDA. Powers & Sons Construction served as the general contractor.
