First Residential Building at Ogden Commons Nears Completion

Construction is wrapping up on the first residential phase of Ogden Commons, located on the site of the former Lawndale Complex in the North Lawndale community. The four-story building includes 92 apartments - 37 CHA-subsidized, 46 affordable and nine market-rate. Work is expected to be completed this spring.

In 2021, a 52,000-square foot commercial building opened at the site, featuring an urgent care clinic, bank, restaurant and coffee shop. In summer 2023, CHA’s Board approved funding for the second residential phase at the development, which will add an additional 75 apartments, including 30 CHA, 27 affordable and 18 market-rate. Groundbreaking for the next phase is expected by the end of 2024.

 When fully completed, the development will include approximately 300 apartments.
