Ravenswood Senior Living has been in the spotlight! This exciting renovation and adaptive reuse project was recently featured in Retrofit magazine, in addition to receiving a nomination for top redevelopment project at the RE Journals 2022 IREJ Awards.
Eriksson Engineering Associates is proud to have worked with WJW Architects as a civil engineering subconsultant, in addition to Evergreen Real Estate Group, and the Chicago Housing Authority, to provide badly needed low-income housing options for seniors in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood. Ravenswood Senior Living offers a choice of independent and assisted living with the hope that residents can age in place, and stay in a neighborhood that many have called home for most of their lives
The development, which was completed in May 2021, shows how adaptive reuse can not only invigorate a rundown building but also help improve the lives of a community in need. Read more about this innovative project in the article below.
The former Ravenswood Hospital in Chicago has been given new life as Ravenswood Senior Living, creating badly needed affordable housing in a desirable neighborhood that is largely out of reach for low-income seniors, including many who have lived most of their lives in the area.
