We are pleased to announce that the Legacy District proposal has been announced as a winner of Chicago’s INVEST South/West Bronzeville RFP.
The Legacy District development of vacant, city-owned land at 47th Street and Vincennes Avenue in historic Bronzeville is planned to construct a six-story building with 12,000 square feet of commercial space and 25 mixed-income residential units.
