Development Update: CHA Celebrates Groundbreaking For 520 Hobbie @Parkside

CHA joined Mayor Johnson, Holsten Real Estate Development & Management Corporation, and the Cabrini Green LAC Community Development Corporation to break ground on 520 Hobbie @Parkside, a 99-unit mixed-income project in the Cabrini area. This is the final phase at Parkside and fulfills CHA’s Master Development Agreement with the Holsten team.

But CHA’s work in Cabrini is not done. In fact, it is ramping up:

• By the end of 2025, construction will start at Oak and Larrabee, which will add 78 new homes, including 17 for CHA families.
• CHA is looking for new developers for the former Near North High School site at the northwest corner of Clybourn and Larrabee. That site will deliver a minimum of 180 CHA apartments.
• And CHA is finalizing a year-long planning and engagement process to update the plan for the remaining 43 acres of land in Cabrini, including the vacant rowhomes. That initiative is called Cabrini Now, and it will be released for public comment in the near future.
