Plan Commission approves Casa Yucatan
The affordable development will include 98 apartments at 2136 S. Ashland
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved the affordable residential development dubbed Casa Yucatan. Planned by The Resurrection Project, the development is addressed at 2136 S. Ashland at the southwestern corner of S. Ashland Ave and W. 21st Pl.
Designed by local firm DesignBridge, the all-affordable development will stand 8 floors tall with a precast facade and structure organized in a U-shaped massing. After initially having an L-shaped design, the massing changed to a U-shape to accommodate more green space on the site and to allow for stepping down of the massing from 8 floors along S. Ashland Ave to 4 floors adjacent to neighborhood homes to the west of the site.
Planned to have 98 apartments, the unit mix will include 38 one-beds, 34 two-beds, and 26 three-beds. The developer is using income averaging to provide 26 of the units at 30% AMI, 10 units at 15% AMI, and some at 70% AMI to reach a weighted average of 60% AMI.
The first floor will hold a community room and space for The Resurrection Project’s programming in rooms along S. Ashland Ave. The residential entry will be at the inset of the building massing with a handful of units at the west side of the building’s ground floor. Parking for 20 cars will be available on the site and a bike room will accommodate 98 bike parking spaces.
