CHICAGO-A former school in the South Shore community will be razed and replaced by a 140-unit building for physically disabled adults. A limited liability corporation hopes to begin work on the $20-million assisted living facility as soon as possible following a favorable recommendation from the plan commission.

The developer, 7200 Dorchester Properties LLC, is targeting a market of adults between 22 and 64 who need assistance, such as amputees, quadriplegic or persons with brain injuries. The level of care would be less than a nursing home, says Madeleine Doering of the department of planning and development, but greater than an independent living facility. Most of the residents would be receiving public aid, Medicaid or Social Security disability payments, she adds. One-bedroom units are designed to range from 450 sf to 580 sf.
