Scope Of Work
JJ Duffy begins construction on Trianon Lofts, a Housing and Retail Project in the Woodlawn Community. Groundbreaking ceremonies held on Thursday, July 21 signal the start of construction on Trianon Lofts, 803 East 61st Street. The housing and retail project is the first predominantly market rate rental housing to be built in Woodlawn in more than 50 years, according to the developers, Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH).
The total project development cost of $12.5 million will result in a structural steel frame building with 24 two bedroom/two-bath units and 7,000 square feet of commercial space demonstrates "the ongoing revitalization of Woodlawn and is the latest element of a strong, healthy community." Each apartment will feature 900 to 950 square feet of living space, 10-foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and an in-unit washer/dryer. Duffy worked extensively with POAH and Urban Works, the architect, to make this project possible.
Woodlawn is conveniently located between the University of Chicago and the end of the CTA's Green Line. The neighborhood is minutes from the future home of the Obama Presidential Library.
