IFF
Responding to decades of community organizing focused on attracting positive commercial activity to the neighborhood, The Harrison Gateway project is a new facility that builds on several core components of the Foundation for Homan Square (FHS) Strategic Development Plan. This new, three story, 16,773 square foot mixed use development will combine five unique local businesses and community-based organizations that serve Homan Square and the North Lawndale community in a singular building. The building will house Alderwoman Scott’s office and café on the ground floor, two office tenants with flexible office spaces on the second floor and culminate with a new satellite office for IFF on the third floor – all in an inviting design that is organized around a central open courtyard. The project site has long been targeted for development due to its current vacancy status, high transit accessibility, and strategic location as an entryway to the Homan Square neighborhood.
