PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
A.O. Flats :
Mixed-Income
In February 2020, TCB announced the grand opening of A.O. Flats at Forest Hills, a transit-oriented, workforce housing development in Jamaica Plain. The energy-efficient building consists of 78 units affordable to low-income and moderate-income residents.
A.O. Flats has a Platinum level of LEED certifiability and includes 1,500 square feet of commercial space on the first floor.
RESIDENT & COMMUNITY SUCCESS
Addis Café
Designed with community in mind, the Addis Café reopened its doors in new commercial space developed by TCB. Co-owner Kalkidan Tesfaye’s hopes of adding authentic Ethiopian dinner fare to the menu became reality thanks to the site’s full commercial-grade kitchen. The larger space creates a plethora of opportunity to serve Ethiopian comfort food orders to the community she loves.
Rush Hospital
Pandemic isolation affected communities of color especially hard. The Community Builders worked with Chicago’s Rush University and Illinois Institute of Technology to figure out how TCB investments could best support these communities during this very difficult time.
Meet Derrick
Derrick Hayes needed to figure out ways to take his carpet-cleaning business to the next level. Our Community Life team connected him with the resource he needed to learn new skills that allowed him to rebuild and revitalize his business.
