Located in a formerly undesirable neighborhood, this 225,000 sq. foot structure is a prime example of the Royal Imperial Group’s developmental capabilities. We re-developed this entire project internally including conceptual analysis, acquisition, zoning, National Historical Landmark designation, design, layout, construction, management, staffing and marketing.

The challenges started with this long and narrow 100-year-old structure. Vacant for several years, the building was in extreme disrepair. We envisioned a future for this structure but more importantly we implemented our vision in such a way to assure that its future was economically rewarding.

Today, the Lincoln Park Health Center houses a 248-bed skilled nursing center, 119 retirement apartments, and a medical clinic. This facility was the first in the nation to include this combination in a luxury rental and has been heralded by local, state and national leaders. Designated as a national landmark structure, this project began a successful revitalization of the entire surrounding area. The area is now one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Chicago.
