Once the site of the ABLA public housing project, Roosevelt Square is a transformative 160-acre, multi-phase development bringing over 2,000 housing units to Chicago’s Near West Side. With a strong commitment to community impact, this project has prioritized workforce development by hiring directly from the local community, providing job opportunities, and fostering economic growth.

Currently underway, Roosevelt Square Phase 3B will add 222 new mixed-income apartments across three mid-rise buildings, offering a range of studio to three-bedroom units. This phase also includes the restoration of the last remaining Jane Addams building, which will become the new National Public Housing Museum. As part of its reinvestment efforts, Related Midwest and its partners have renovated 184 existing affordable units from Phase 1, ensuring long-term housing stability for residents.

Beyond housing, Roosevelt Square continues to strengthen the neighborhood with 45,000 square feet of retail space, supporting local businesses like Fresh Stop Produce & Deli and The Slice Shop. By integrating thoughtful development with economic opportunity, this project not only builds homes but also empowers the community, leaving a lasting impact on Chicago’s Near West Side.
