Albany Terrace Apartments

Goals

Since 1974, Albany Terrace Apartments has served as a public housing high-rise for low-income seniors in the South Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. It is a 206,635 SF, 17-story (148 ft high) building with 350 units located on a 6-acre site.

Before its recent renovation, the building’s fifty-year-old systems were outdated, causing frequent problems such as leaks, heating failures, and elevator breakdowns. The renovation focused on updating these systems, transforming the building into a highly functional and comfortable environment where senior residents can live vibrant, fulfilling lives.

Results

The objective of this renovation project, led by The Michaels Organization (TMO) and the Chicago Housing Authority as developer and Canopy as architect, was to make a comprehensive renovation, including exterior updates, unit improvements, and upgraded community spaces. These upgrades ensure that the residents can age in place with dignity while enjoying a stronger connection to the broader community.
