The Chicago Housing Authority was joined by the City of Chicago’s Department of Planning and Development, 49th Ward Ald. Joe Moore and Ross Financial Services Friday for the groundbreaking of Clark-Estes Apartments, a mixed-use development that will be built on the site of an old theater in the Rogers Park community. Clark-Estes will be a new, four-story family development at 1763 W. Estes and will include 54 residential units – 15 of which will be assisted by CHA’s Property Rental Assistance (PRA). The site is designated as a General Area and is less than one block from an Opportunity Area. It is the site of the former Adelphi Theater. The Clark Estes Apartments will be located on a strong commercial artery and will be surrounded by a thriving residential and business community. Residents will have access to the community courtyard with an outdoor patio. Twenty parking spaces will be available on site. Clark-Estes Apartments will seek the Enterprise Green Communities certification, which will include Energy Star appliances, windows and light fixtures. The first floor of the building will offer 3,350 square feet of retail space, as well as a community room and office space.
