    Transit Oriented Development

    This site embraces transit-oriented development by placing housing within a short walk of the Pink Line 18th St & Damen stops and key bus routes on Damen, Cermak and 18th. Transit access, enhanced walkability, and access to bike infrastructure lower transportation costs for residents while supporting sustainability goals. It’s density done right—aligned with Connected Communities zoning and Chicago’s equitable growth strategy.

    ADA Accessible units

    Four ground-floor units are fully ADA accessible, providing barrier-free housing for seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals needing step-free layouts. Proximity to the Pink Line and bus routes ensures mobility beyond the home, connecting residents to jobs, healthcare, and daily needs—without relying on a car. Access and dignity go hand in hand.

QuarryHouse1845 is a model for equitable growth. This proposal uses Connected Communities zoning to deliver family-sized, ADA-accessible, mixed-income housing just steps from transit. With affordable inclusionary zoning units and a full range of layouts, it advances inclusive, transit-oriented density in one of Chicago’s fastest-appreciating neighborhoods.

These programs and this development enable local workers, families, and neighbors to stay rooted in a rapidly appreciating area. Four ADA accessible units, 3 inclusionary units and a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms near transit, park space and globally recognized cultural amenities.
