Breaking Ground & Breaking Barriers: Lakeview Landing

Posted on | by ssullivan

Powers & Sons was honored to join Over the Rainbow (OTR) Association, Lakeview Lutheran church leaders, and supporters to kick-off our second new affordable housing community for residents with physical challenges. The apartments are designated for those whose incomes are at or below 30% of the area median income.

LAKEVIEW LANDING APARTMENTS

  • Location: 835 W. Addison Street | Chicago
  • Clients: OTR Association & Lakeview Lutheran Church
Replacing an existing church, the new six-story Lakeview Landing will be located at the intersection of W. Addison and N. Reta Avenue in Chicago. The structure will contain 37 universally designed, barrier-free, one-bedroom apartments that far exceed current ADA standards for accessibility. The architectural firm is Weese Langley Weese.

The building features ground-level worship and church space. Inside each unit, pull-under sinks, lower appliances, and easy-to-reach outlets, window latches, and door handles facilitate maximum mobility.

Through its resident services program, OTR staff will provide residents with assistance with navigating insurance benefits, learning how to budget, and seeking educational and employment assistance through community resources. OTR’s program helps ensure residents stay housed and that they have a strong support system in place.
