Chicago Senior Residential Projects Go Green

What's not to love about rooftop gardens and terraces in a quiet neighborhood just north of a major metropolitan downtown area? They serve many purposes, especially for a community of seniors in Lakeview, just 4 miles north of the Loop.

Everyone in Chicago seems to be going green these days. Not only was it recently ranked as the greenest U.S. city based on the number of LEED certified buildings, Chicago's City Hall itself boasts a rooftop garden. Now senior living residences are following suit, offering residents the luxuries of green relaxation while making for more efficient and connected buildings in their communities.
