Committee Member Briefing

Woodlawn Social
63rd Street and Ellis Avenue
(Woodlawn, 20th Ward)

Woodlawn Social is the winning submission from the 63rd Street Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that DPD released in August of 2022. Submitted by POAH & KMW, Koning Eizenberg and Harley Ellis Deveraux, this proposal follows Park Station as the next mixed-use, affordable housing development on 63rd Street, between South Ellis and South Greenwood Avenues. The project intends to create a new neighborhood center and to establish a precedent of design excellence for the continued redevelopment of the 63rd Street corridor. The proposal will include 60 rental units and 10 for-sale townhomes as well as approximately 8,500 square feet of ground floor retail space and 26 parking spaces. The project is subject to the Woodlawn Housing Preservation Ordinance and, as such, is required to designate 30% of the rental units as affordable at 30-50% AMI. As a modern interpretation of a traditional courtyard building, the project was designed to be sensitive to the existing neighborhood scale by breaking down the mass of the program into three discrete elements while also creating a generous public plaza and a private courtyard for both rental and townhome residents.
