1840 N Marcey

From Vacant to Vibrant

The development at 1840 N Marcey will transform a vacant call center into vital housing while increasing affordability in the highly desirable Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Building Thriving Communities

Sterling Bay is building thriving communities at the intersection of life, work and play in neighborhoods across the city. This roughly two-acre, pedestrian-friendly development includes 615 residences, significant open space, ground-level commercial and numerous infrastructure improvements that will reduce congestion and enhance walkability within the neighborhood.

What’s more, up to 20% of the housing units will be affordable, a historic number of onsite affordable housing in Lincoln Park.
