construction will begin in 2013

Located on 70th Street in Chicago’s Grand Crossing neighborhood, Dorchester Artist Housing Collaborative is the redevelopment of the former Dante Harper housing project into 32 mixed-income rental units composed of 2-3 bedrooms. Brinshore Development, The Rebuild Foundation and its founder, Theaster Gates, are collaborating with LBBA to create a unique development that will bring art-interested public housing residents and practicing artists together.

All buildings will be restored to their original modern design, with the addition of an Arts Center (composed of four former townhomes) in the center of the development. The Arts Center will create an open and inviting space for programming, creating, and displaying art.

All existing major building systems and will be updated to meet or exceed Enterprise Green Communities Criteria as part of the City of Chicago’s Green Permit program.
