Incorporating Culture and History for the Community

Chicago neighborhoods carry a rich history shaped by character and connection. When a new eight-story, 50-unit residential development was envisioned in Rogers Park, the design called for a thoughtful blend of established architectural personality and modern performance. The 84,000 sq ft space with five residential floors and three levels of parking, strengthens the surrounding area with reliable, long-lasting housing that reflects the spirit of the neighborhood.

Building in a dense urban setting meant limited space for staging materials and a schedule that demanded efficiency without disrupting daily life. To balance these project demands, Wells streamlined building enclosure that supported safety requirements, and kept progress moving within budget. With just-in-time deliveries and coordinated crews, Wells’ quick installation helped the project move from groundbreaking to occupancy within the 16-month timeline while reducing disruption to nearby residents.
