The planned $39 million Clybourn Division Apartments at 1200-26 N. Clybourn Ave. will include 26 units for Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) residents, 26 units at affordable rent levels, and 32 units at market rates.  

City assistance will include $8.1 million in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance, $1.3 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits that will generate $12.9 million in equity, and $1.9 million in donations tax credit equity for the project. The .96-acre property, owned by the City and valued at $5.1 million, will also be sold to the developer for $25,000.
