Instead of a single five-story, 113-unit building at 92nd Street and Mackinaw Avenue, Pathway Senior Living now plans two buildings--one with 115 units for supportive living and the other with 105 units for independent living. The two facilities, expected to cost about $33 million based on earlier estimates, will be built on a long-vacant 3.7-acre site at the southeast corner of 92nd Street and Burley Avenue.
Pathway Senior Living is acquiring the larger site from the city. A deal is in the works to sell the site in a deal that includes a land swap with the 92nd Street and Mackinaw Avenue site, where Pathway Senior Living originally planned to build.
The plan commission recently endorsed a zoning change for the triangular site from RS2 to RM5. However, Pathway Senior Living plans a project almost half the size of what could be built under that zoning, according to the department of planning and development.
"It's bringing much needed senior housing into an area and doubling the number of units than the previous proposal across the street," says 10th Ward Alderman John Pope.
In addition to 220 senior housing units, the project will include a satellite senior center operated by the city's department of aging.
