The Residences at the Eagle Building - 3833 N Broa

The first geothermal, privately owned building of its kind in the Midwest, this unique property rests on top of 60 wells that extend 500 feet below ground, supplying heat and cooling for the building, while 130 solar panels on the roof help generate electricity. Apartments feature R-30 insulated walls, insulated and gas filled windows, and electric and energy star appliances. The Residences at Eagle Building is a LEED Certified Gold Standard property.

Located at 3817-45 North Broadway in the heart of Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, the property was completed recently and consists of 20,000 square feet of commercial space currently leased to Starbucks, and Lakeview Food Pantry in addition to 134 studio- to three-bedroom apartments. All units are equipped with modern kitchens, stainless steel energy efficient appliances, dishwashers, in-unit washers and dryers, track lighting, spacious layouts and an abundance of natural light. Residents also benefit from communal amenities such as a fitness room, clubroom, barbeque facilities, and a rooftop running track and community garden.

The Residences at Eagle Building is a unique, first-of-its-kind property in the Midwest. This geothermal mixed-use property is ingenious; not only is the building environmentally friendly, but it also enhances bottom line performance by regulating utility expenses, which are a fraction of what would be otherwise. It is also worth mentioning that DLG spared no expense when it came to detail on this project, an example of which is the property’s heated sidewalks—an extremely beneficial amenity in Chicago winters,
