Supportive Housing Residence Delivered in Cook County

McShane Construction Company is pleased to announce the completion of Heart’s Place Apartments, a supportive housing complex in Arlington Heights, Illinois, completed on behalf of the Housing Opportunity Development Corporation and repeat client, UP Development. A ribbon cutting was held yesterday at the project site to celebrate the grand opening of the new facility.

“Individuals with disabilities are often overlooked when it comes to the housing market,” stated Jeffrey A. Raday, President of McShane Construction Company. “However, a necessary part of supporting this group is providing for their housing needs. We are proud that Heart’s Place Apartments will achieve that goal.”

Heart’s Place Apartments will act as permanent housing for families, targeting people who live with a mental illness or other disability that requires access to support services. It is located in a well-established area along Dundee Road that offers convenient access to stores, banks, recreational areas, healthcare facilities and public schools. This will provide tenants with the opportunity to find employment in a variety of industries close to home. Additionally, tenants will have access to a suburban Pace bus route with a stop just a block from the complex.

The 18,790-square-foot complex is located at 120 W. Boeger Drive on a site that was vacant for more than a decade prior to its construction. Heart’s Place incorporates 18 one- and two-bedroom units into two stories with wood frame construction.

Additionally, there is an on-site laundry room, a community room and support staff offices. The grounds of the property feature ample parking and attractive landscaping for tenants to enjoy.

The architect of record for Heart’s Place Apartments is Cordogan Clark & Associates.
