Multifamily Residents Seek Spaces To Connect

Chicago Tribune



Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic forced people to physically distance, today’s multifamily residents are increasingly drawn to amenities that promote in-person interaction, with developers and architects responding accordingly. After hearing about this trend from several clients, Taylor Johnson successfully pitched the story, along with standout Chicago-area communities, to the Chicago Tribune. The resulting article, which ran as a front-page feature in the Sunday Real Estate section, included commentary from TJ clients Optima, Inc., Lendlease and Baker Barrios Architects about the growing popularity of building amenities that respond to lasting shifts in remote work and the demand for social and recreational spaces. Our clients also emphasized that programming and community engagement — from trivia nights to painting instruction and cooking classes — are just as important as the amenities themselves in making communal spaces meaningful to residents.
