185-unit apartment complex set to open soon in Lafayette Park
DuCharme Place, a $45 million, 185-unit development comprising four apartment buildings, will be the first new construction in the neighborhood in 40 years.
Lafayette Park, the east-side neighborhood containing the acclaimed Mies van der Rohe townhouses, has had little new construction for decades. Until now.
DuCharme Place, a $45 million, 185-unit development comprising four apartment buildings, is set to open soon. It will be the first “new lifestyle community in 40 years,” according to a Multifamily Executive article.
The design, writes Jennifer Goodman, was inspired by Lafayette Park’s own van der Rohe.
“The contemporary and energy-efficient design will feature a terraced live green roof complete with lawn, garden, fitness center, and swimming pool. Exteriors will include insulated glazing and be clad in a rain screen fiber-cement reinforced panel system with aluminum-framed windows, featuring railings of laser-cut painted metal.”
