RECENT WORK

The 801 | Oak Park, IL

Access to quality affordable housing is an integral component of strong communities, as is a vibrant arts scene that enriches the lives of residents and contributes to the economic well-being of the community as a whole. In Oak Park, IL, a newly opened mixed-use development is meeting both needs while revitalizing a long vacant corner lot that serves as the gateway to a key business district in the suburb eight miles west of downtown Chicago.

Xquina Cafe Community Hub Officially Underway On 26th Street In Little Village: ‘This Is A Big Day’

LITTLE VILLAGE — After three years, Xquina, a bilingual business incubator, co-working space and cafe in Little Village, is officially in the works. On Wednesday morning, the Little Village Chamber of Commerce, Ald. Michael Rodriguez (22nd) and Mayor Lori Lightfoot held a ceremonial groundbreaking at 3523- 3525 W. 26th St., marking a momentous day for the project that was initially introduced to neighbors in 2018. Blanca Soto, executive director of the chamber, called the ground breaking a “big day” for the neighborhood and local entrepreneurs who will soon have a new space to cultivate their ideas. “This project is rooted in the legacy of strong Latino entrepreneurship and will drive the future of entrepreneurship in our community,” Soto said during a press conference. As part of the project, the Little Village Chamber of Commerce and the Little Village Community Foundation will rehab two- and three-story buildings on the corner of 26th Street and Drake Avenue.
