BELMONT VILLAGE LINCOLN PARK Chicago, Ill.


Provider: Belmont Village Senior Living Architect: Antunovich Associates


Blending into a deep-rooted neighborhood often presents a challenge. But Belmont Vil- lage faced a particularly novel situation with its new project in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, a dense urban area undergoing significant change.


Belmont Village Lincoln Park had a mis-


sion: Replicate the exterior of the treasured neighborhood landmark it would replace. The Nellie A. Black building had been constructed in 1932 to house nurses and interns working at a nearby hospital, since torn down. “We design buildings to fit in with the local


feel of the community,” says Mike Hostler, vice president of architecture at Belmont Village. The goal was to create a state-of-the art senior living community adjacent to

the new, upscale mixed-use Lincoln Com- mon development, itself replacing the old hospital. The location was suited to a senior liv-


ing project: Bustling Lincoln Park features premier shops and restaurants, a college campus, and parks and theaters, as well as access to public transportation. Eight years in the making, with a grand opening celebrated in July, Belmont Village Lincoln Park features 149 assisted living and memory care apartments. The new seven-story building had to oc-


cupy the footprint of the original six-story building while maintaining existing height restrictions. That presented a challenge to create space for enough residences to make the project financially feasible.
