The Chicago City Council has approved the mixed-use affordable development known as Harvest Homes II in East Garfield Park. Located at 3415 West Jackson Boulevard, YIMBY recently covered when the project was approved by the Plan Commission around a month ago. The wedge-shaped site is bounded by West 5th Avenue to the south.

The project is being led by the NHP Foundation and the People’s Community Development Association of Chicago, in collaboration with local design firm UrbanWorks, which also led the vision plan for Grant Park. The development will feature a large public green space and courtyard along Jackson Boulevard, which will also connect to a food hall located on the eastern end of the site.

The food hall will include seating for 150 and a single kitchen, serving both the community and the residents of the adjacent 50-unit, L-shaped residential building to the west. All units in the three-story building will be designated affordable housing and will include one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, ranging from 600 to 1,230 square feet in size.
