Habitat Breaks Ground On Transformative LeClaire Courts Redevelopment On Chicago’s Southwest Side

ABC Chicago

Taylor Johnson client Habitat recently celebrated the start of construction on the first residential phase of the long-awaited LeClaire Courts redevelopment, a 32-acre mixed-income, mixed-use community that will ultimately bring approximately new 700 homes, open areas and commercial space, including a daycare facility, to a vacant Chicago Housing Authority site in Garfield Ridge on the city’s Southwest Side. To build awareness around the milestone, Team TJ coordinated media invites for a groundbreaking ceremony attended by project partners, elected officials and community leaders, and distributed a post-event press release. The outreach generated extensive coverage across broadcast, local and trade media, including ABC Chicago, CBS Chicago, Southwest Regional Publishing, Chicago Defender, Block Club Chicago, Urbanize Chicago, Multi-Housing News, REjournals, Yield PRO, REBusinessOnline, Chicago Construction News, Connect CRE Chicago & Midwest and Bisnow Chicago.
