Earlier this month, DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies released a report that confirmed a severe shortage of affordable housing units in Chicago.  After analyzing the report’s findings, we knew Taylor Johnson clients Evergreen Real Estate Group and The Habitat Company could add valuable insights to media by interpreting the data and providing expert commentary. We moved quickly on the timely opportunity and just a few days after offering sources to Bisnow, this story ran with quotes from both Evergreen and Habitat.

The Habitat Company is developing Ogden Commons in Chicago’s West Lawndale neighborhood, with 80% of the mixed-use project’s 332 residential units reserved for affordable housing.
