Presented by Committee on Design

As the first affordable, transit-oriented development on Chicago’s South Side, 43 Green sets a precedent bringing much-needed housing and neighborhood-serving amenities to the historic Bronzeville community. With more than 50% of units designated as affordable, the development mitigates displacement pressures while welcoming a socioeconomically diverse population into a diverse urban neighborhood.

The building’s orientation and fenestration patterns are designed to maximize natural light and views, enhancing residents’ connection to the community. Common areas include community rooms and landscaped terraces to encourage gathering and engagement. The project also promotes healthy lifestyles through improved walkability, access to transit, integrated bike storage, and onsite fitness amenities – features not typically found in affordable housing developments.

The design introduces density while remaining sensitive to the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhood, demonstrating how transit-oriented development can be both inclusive and impactful.
