Build Wealth.
Build Community.
Build Your Future.
New construction 3 flats designed to create pathways to homeownership, wealth building, and neighborhood investment.
Westside Community Group Inc, in partnership with TechCo Savvy Inc, is proud to bring high-quality multifamily housing opportunities to North Lawndale through the City of Chicago's Missing Middle Infill Housing Program.
Building More Than Homes
This development transforms vacant city lots into thoughtfully designed housing opportunities for families seeking to build equity and establish roots in North Lawndale.
The project includes a mix of homeownership options designed to serve working families, first-time buyers, and owner-occupants interested in creating additional income through multifamily ownership.
By increasing access to quality housing, we are investing in both individual families and the long-term future of the neighborhood.
Why North Lawndale
North Lawndale has long been a community defined by resilience, culture, and strong neighborhood leadership. While decades of disinvestment created challenges, they also created opportunities for meaningful reinvestment.
We believe homeownership remains one of the strongest tools for building generational wealth and community stability. Through thoughtful infill development, this project helps create new opportunities for residents to own, invest, and grow alongside their neighborhood.
This isn't simply new construction. It's a commitment to North Lawndale's future.
A Path Toward Homeownership
The City of Chicago's Building Neighborhoods and Affordable Homes (BNAH) Program helps qualifying buyers purchase newly constructed, owner-occupied homes by providing financial assistance toward the cost of homeownership.
Eligible buyers may use grant funds toward an appraisal gap, down payment, closing costs, senior loan principal reduction, and certain approved expenses associated with purchasing the home.

Making new homes more attainable today — while building stronger neighborhoods for tomorrow.
Smart Designs,
Strong Communities
A closer look at how these homes are planned, designed, and built from the site itself to the finishes inside.
Site Plans & Renderings
Designed With the Site in Mind
Each development is planned around its specific lot — taking into account sun exposure, street access, and how the building fits naturally within the surrounding block.
Renderings are made available as each site moves through design, giving buyers a clear sense of what their future home and street will look like.
Final renderings may vary by site and are shared as they become available.
Home Types
Design to Fit Your Goals
This development includes three-flats giving buyers flexibility depending on whether they're looking to live in one unit, generate rental income, or house extended family.
Each home type is designed with open-concept living, comfortable bedrooms, and quality finishes throughout.
Availability by home type varies by site and phase.
Sustainability
Built With Efficiency in Mind
Homes are designed with energy-efficient windows, modern heating, and cooling systems.
These choices support both household budgets and the long-term sustainability of the neighborhood.
Specific features may vary by home type and site.
Built for Lasting Value
Every home we deliver is the product of deliberate choices — from material selection to design philosophy — aimed at standing the test of time for Chicago families.
Durable Materials
Fiber cement panels chosen to withstand Chicago's harsh climate while keeping maintenance low.
Functional Floor Plans
Three-flats layouts designed to maximize comfort, privacy, and utility.
Premium Finishes
Quartz countertops, engineered hardwood, stainless appliances, and spa-like bathrooms at accessible price points.

Why should I purchase in a neighborhood like North Lawndale?
North Lawndale and other South and West Side neighborhoods are experiencing revitalization, with new investments and community initiatives creating opportunities for growth. By investing now, you can be part of a thriving community with long-term potential.
-
What type of homes are available?
The available homes include three-flats. The properties are ideal for owner-occupants looking to live in one unit while renting out others or housing extended family.
-
What are the financial benefits of owning a multifamily home?
Owning a multifamily property allows you to live in one unit and generate rental income from the others, which can help cover your mortgage or turn a profit. Lenders typically use up to 75% of the potential gross rental income to qualify borrowers — a smart way to build wealth and reduce living expenses.
-
Are these homes affordable?
Our homes are priced at market rate, aligned with area median income (AMI) levels up to 140%. They are designed to provide value and long-term financial benefits for owner-occupants.
-
Can I customize the design of my home?
Yes, but customization is limited. You'll have the opportunity to select finishes (countertops, flooring, fixtures) and make minor modifications. Our team will work with you within overall design and construction standards.
-
Do you offer financing options?
Although we don't offer financing directly, we connect you with trusted lenders specializing in multifamily and owner-occupied homes. We aim to be your one-stop shop by linking you with preferred lenders and our network of attorneys and other resources.
-
Will this development lead to displacement?
Displacement is not our goal. Our focus is on neighborhood enhancement — creating opportunities for families to own homes and build wealth while preserving the community's roots and culture. There are thousands of vacant lots undeveloped for decades; this project gives them new purpose.
