The Chicago City Council approved the sale of eight vacant, city-owned parcels of land to Westside Community Group Inc. for a nominal sum of $8, as part of the ChiBlockBuilder Missing Middle Infill Housing Initiative. The project involves the construction of nine three-unit residential buildings, totaling 27 dwelling units, on these scattered sites in the North Lawndale Community Area. The specific addresses of the parcels include 1648, 1654, 1658 S Drake Ave and 1630, 1631, 1653, 1804, and 1810 S Trumbull Ave. The City is providing a conditional grant of $4,050,000 for site preparation and construction, contributing to the estimated total project cost of $6,486,488. The initiative aims to address neighborhood disinvestment and repopulate underbuilt areas by facilitating new home construction for owner-occupants. The project received waivers from the Open Space Impact Fee Ordinance and the Affordable Requirements Ordinance to encourage market-rate homeownership and investment. The properties are zoned RT-4 and were sold "as is", with the developer responsible for any necessary environmental remediation.
