Originally built in the early 1900s, the mixed-use residential property targeting low- and moderate-income individuals in Lincoln Park is located at 2653 N.

The acquisition was made possible through financial partnerships with Community Investment Corporation (CIC) and the Chicago Community Loan Fund (CCLF), which lent NHPF $5 million and $2.2 million respectively. Chicago Title Land Trust Company was the seller. NHPF is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and creating sustainable, service-enriched multifamily housing.
