A new $3.5 million medical clinic will be built in South Chicago through a City-owned land sale approved today by City Council.

Four vacant parcels at the northwest corner of 83rd Street and Muskegon Avenue will be sold to Ujamaa Holding Group LLC, which owns two parcels immediately west of the site. The combined .61-acres of land will be used to construct a 10,740-square-foot building to be leased to Access Family Health Center. The proposed sale price is the appraised value of $25,000.

The new state-of-the-art health center will replace a nearby smaller facility, providing additional comprehensive primary and preventive services to community residents in one location.

Access is the state’s largest private primary health care provider to low-income residents and operates a network of 36 community-based health centers in Chicago and the suburbs.
