Woodlawn Station in Chicago by Preservation of Affordable Housing.
The $25.7 million development features 32 one-, 20 two-, and 18 three-bedroom homes for residents earning 20% to 120% of the area median income, with half of the units supported by a Sec. 8 contract.
Located next to an elevated subway station, Woodlawn Station is an example of a transit-oriented development that mirrors those found in more affluent neighborhoods. Preservation of Affordable Housing de-emphasized the use of cars and took advantage of a new city ordinance to reduce on-site parking by 50%. Additionally, the building will have a car-share program, interior bike storage, and a transit information screen to monitor train and bus arrivals.
