Saint Luke Renaissance
Greenview Place
Saint Luke Renaissance - Greenview Place (a Supportive Living Facility) is the natural follow-up to Renaissance Saint Luke (RSL), located at 1501 West Belmont. Greenview Place is planned for the SW corner of Greenview and Melrose Streets, in Lake View one block north of Belmont.
Greenview Place is designed to provide supportive living for residents who want to remain independent but need a little help with routine daily activities - housekeeping, cooking, dressing, driving, etc. - but who do not require the more extensive and expensive services of skilled care.
This project is the result of a joint effort between The Renaissance Companies and Saint Luke Church , which has been located in the heart of Lake View since 1884. The Church is firmly entrenched in the community and is fervently dedicated to providing our seniors with affordable, quality supportive housing. Combined with RSL, our independent living project one block south on Belmont, this new development will allow our Lake View neighbors - indeed all Chicagoans - to make an easier transition as time goes on, staying as independent as possible, while remaining in the neighborhood and continuing to enjoy the delights of Lake View. The classic masonry architecture, designed by Worn Jerabek Architects, PC , is designed to complement the urban streetscape while harmonizing with the residential character of the neighborhood.
The building will be home to 105 residents and will employ a staff of 25-30 spread over three shifts. Amenities will include breakfast bar, lunch and dinner, prepared in the gourmet kitchen of Saint Luke Academy (located adjacent to the property on Belmont), as well as social activities, TV lounge, library, social services and much more. Personal services will be provided by the Lutheran Home and Services of Arlington Heights, a well-known and award-winning firm specializing in senior housing and services. Social Services will be provided by a joint venture between Renaissance Social Services, Inc. (RSSI) and Saint Luke Church. RSSI was founded in 1994 to provide supportive services to Renaissance developments and is now a completely independent 501(c)3 dedicated to providing supportive services to multi-family housing projects.
Construction is slated to begin in Spring 2008. |
