The 19-unit Wrightwood Crossing in Chicago�s Lincoln Park neighborhood will be submitted for LEED Platinum certification when completed in spring of 2010.

The development, Wrightwood Crossing, is at 1307 W. Wrightwood Avenue. It was designed by [1016] Architecture and is being developed by Chicago’s G.Corp. Development Properties. Ground was broken at the site in early September and first deliveries are scheduled for spring of 2010.

The building will feature private rooftop gardens, a common green-roof deck, oversized balconies and a professionally landscaped yard covering more than 50% of the property.

Each unit will have features that increase accessibility for people with disabilities. These features, sometimes known as “universal design,” allow the units to adapt to the changing needs of long-term occupants with only minor modifications.
