Got Capital? If So, Multifamily Party Roars On

Daily Herald



Wingspan currently has $200 million in multifamily projects under construction across the U.S., including 5400 Old Orchard, a mixed-use project with Tucker Development in Skokie, Ill. 


For the next couple of years, suburban Chicago multifamily development will be a tale of the haves and have nots – developers with access to capital versus those without. As Christopher Coleman, vice president of development for Taylor Johnson client Wingspan Development Group, explains in a byline we secured for him in the Daily Herald, although Chicago’s suburbs have added almost 27,000 new apartment units since 2013, only 406 units are planned so far for 2024 due to rising interest rates and a pullback by banks on construction loans.
