30 • October 2016 www.concreteproducts.com FEATURE BY DON MARSH SIGN OF THE TIMES ATMI Precast recently delivered the last of a 600-piece contract for Clybourn 1200, a definitive urban infill project less than a mile from downtown Chicago. The contract combines architectural panels with scored or fluted accents and sandblast finishes, beams, columns and hollowcore plank. All contribute to an accelerated erection schedule typifying a total precast structure. The $35-million, mixed income development spans 77 rental apartments and 17,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. Northbrook, Ill.-based Brinshore Properties is building Clybourn 1200 in partnership with a community development corpora- tion that had operated an urban garden on the triangular site. In a nod to that land stewardship, the new building will have a green roof with vegetable garden and Chicago Honey Co-op beehives. A lively streetscape will include retail and restaurant space, plus a day care center with its own rooftop garden. Chicago architect Pappageorge Haymes has designed Clybourn 1200 with green roofs and other features advancing Brinstone Properties' LEED certification pursuit. The project lies at Clybourn Ave. and Division St., across from new multi-fam- ily developments built on the site of Cabrini Green, one of the country's most notorious post-war public housing complexes.
