The Chicago Maroon reports rental units at the Studio Gang–designed City Hyde Park project are in high demand:

“There has been high demand for the new City Hyde Park retail and residential apartments located at 5105 South Harper Avenue, much of which comes from students seeking an alternative to the university housing system.

Unlike other similarly sized apartment complexes in Hyde Park, City Hyde Park’s parking spaces will be below ground, and the tower will feature an extensive green roof space.

In addition to regular cost units, MAC is placing 36 below-market rate units on the market. These units will be set aside for people who make close to half the city’s median income.

According to MAC Apartment’s Silliman Group Director of Community Development Peter Cassel, the apartments have attracted many different types of people who are looking for an upscale living experience.

‘We believe [City Hyde Park] will appeal to many Hyde Parkers, including the young and older students, teachers, working people, professionals, and retired,’ Cassel said.”
