Approximately 80% the center will be medical office with about 5,000-sf of retail space, Daly says. Fresenius Medical Care Dialysis, Chicago Family Health and Roseland Community Hospital have signed leases for the building. The center will provide dialysis treatments and will allow patients easier access than at Roseland Community Hospital, Daly says. Patients can receive dialysis at the hospital but "it does not have accessible parking and it is on an upper floor of the hospital," he says. Terms of the leases were not disclosed. The project should be completed by the fall. The project is taking longer than planned because of typical environmental issues stemming from having a dry cleaners previously located on the site, he says.

The building is being constructed with solar screens, low E glass, a "green roof" and "extensive" insulation, in keeping with Chicago's Green Roofs initiative, Daly says. About 12,000 sf of the building will be one-story, with the rest of the building being two-stories. The green roof will cover the single-story portion of the building and will reduce storm water runoff, alleviate the urban heat island effect and decrease energy requirements.
