And developers like The Opus Group have found that suburban residents also want to live within or near a downtown, even if it’s a suburban one, and have access to great transportation options that can connect them to Chicago.

The five-story, 450,000-square-foot building sits on the former site of the Rich Port YMCA in downtown La Grange and has a total of 254 units with a variety of floor plans ranging from studios to three bedrooms as well as three walk-up units on the ground level.
