Recent Zoning Successes

In April, we were successful in obtaining the approval from the City Council of the City of Chicago of a planned development for our client, Clybourn Larrabee LLC, a joint venture of Related Midwest and the Chicago Metropolitan Housing Development Corporation. The planned development permits the construction of a new 80 unit condominium building. The development will incorporate significant green practices such as a rain garden, permeable walking surfaces and a partial green roof.

We recently represented IFF Housing, the development affiliate of Illinois Facility Fund, in obtaining a planned unit development from the City of Countryside, Illinois for a mixed-use project permitting the construction of a new 70 unit affordable senior residential building on the site of the existing Township of Lions office building. Illinois Facility Fund is the midwest's largest community development financial institution, offering loans to nonprofits to expand and maintain community facilities, affordable housing and othe physical infrastructure.
