CHICAGO-The redevelopment of the Chicago Housing Authority’s Henry Horner project will include 213 multifamily units, with eight units along Lake Street earmarked as “live-work units.” Construction of the $50-million, 127-unit rental buildings and for-sale units ranging from $175,000 to $550,000 is expected to begin by the end of the year.

The live-work units, designed to provide artists and professionals studio and office space as well as housing, are a novel addition in the $1-billion “Plan for Transformation,” which involves replacing mostly high-rise public housing projects with mixed-income developments. “This is the first time someone is doing it,” Brinshore Development, LLC senior vice president Peter Levavi tells GlobeSt.com. The live-work units will have large glass openings at the ground floor with either a one-bedroom unit or two-bedroom duplex above, according to Brinshore’s plans.
