Sinai Health System is teaming up with the Habitat Company and Cinespace Film Studios to build a 384-unit rental complex near Mount Sinai Hospital.

The Ogden Commons project would be built on eight acres of mostly vacant land at Ogden and Talman avenues on the West Side, according to Curbed.

The developers have filed a zoning change request for the development, which would feature seven buildings ranging from two to five stories, office and retail spaces, and possibly other commercial and hotel uses.

Pending city approvals, work on the project could start later this year.

The property was once home to the Chicago Housing Authority’s Ogden Courts East and Lawndale Complex housing projects. It is near Douglas Park, which in recent years has hosted the annual Riot Fest music festival. [Curbed] — John O’Brien
