Chicago developer Structured Development recently announced the opening of a model unit at Post Chicago, a 10-story, 431-bed co-living community. Located at 853 W. Blackhawk, the property will be operated by tech-driven co-living and residential property operator Tripalink, which provides quality and modernized housing solutions across the United States.
Designed for students, corporate transferees and others in search of flexible, turnkey housing, Post Chicago offers 107 residential units whose bedrooms – between two and four per unit – are fully furnished and individually leased, with rents starting at $1,375per month. Co-living residents share access to a furnished living room, kitchen and in-unit washer/dryer, as well as a bathroom for those who don’t have their own ensuite bath.
“Co-living at Post Chicago is a fun, affordable way to reside in one of the city’s most walkable neighborhoods while making new friends and experiencing all there is to do in this area,” said Jeff Berta, senior director of real estate development at Structured Development, the firm behind the three-building residential project that includes Post Chicago. “For many households, rent is their biggest monthly expense, so Post Chicago is another way we are promoting equitable housing in a location that might otherwise be unattainable.”

From The Structural Group:
Coliving is a modern form of housing where residents share living space. The co-living concept creates unique challenges for a building structure. Coliving creates a building floor plate with many more undulations, which is great for air and light. The Structural Group has used its experience on several of these projects to optimize the floor structure, saving over 15% of reinforcement on Post Chicago.
