ALFA Chicago led the intensive renovation of a 23-story, 490-unit apartment building owned by the Chicago Housing Authority.The project included full soil remediation across the 4-acre site and major landscape upgrades designed in partnership with Terry Guen Design Associates. Inside, ALFA completed a full renovation of the building’s common areas and community rooms, along with extensive concrete restoration at the breezeways.

A key component of the project was the installation of new makeup air systems throughout all upper-floor corridors. This required cutting two 22-story vertical shafts on each side of the building—an effort that involved heavy coordination and use of a dedicated material hoist.
