The new complex provides affordable housing to East Garfield Park residents with incomes ranging from 30% to 80% of the area’s median income, and all units were built to Passive House standards of sustainable energy use. The project includes community rooms, a resident terrace and fitness room, laundry facilities, and on-site management offices, in addition to 43 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Designed as an all-electric facility, Fifth City Commons features mature landscaping, EV charging stations, and extensive bicycle parking. The building is also solar-ready, which will allow for further reduction of energy costs for residents by providing a sustainable power source that aligns with the energy efficiency goals of Passive House principles.
