Archer Courts Apartments

Project Overview

Burling served as the General Contractor for the new construction of 43, three-story townhouses, each with its own garage and roof deck. In order to maintain affordability, a pre-engineered, load-bearing, precast-concrete panel system was utilized. Shop-fabricated steel window bays, aluminum windows, pre-engineered wood trusses, and precast concrete stairs, with the precast wall panels, comprise a “kit of parts” that increased construction speed, thus keeping the project affordable by decreasing labor time. Archer Courts Phase II is part of the City of Chicago’s Homestart program and provides a mix of market-rate and below market-rate home ownership opportunities along with CHA rental units.
