Metropolitan Planning Council joins with Urban Land Institute Chicago and Homebuilders Association of Greater Chicago for first-time award
The Community Vision Award recognizes projects and
communities that demonstrate excellence in five key areas: location;
density and design; access and transportation; environment and public
benefits. The award is a joint initiative of MPC, Urban Land Institute
Chicago (ULI Chicago) and the Homebuilders Association of Greater Chicago
(HBAGC).
This first-time award is envisioned to be given annually, and was made public at the 32nd Annual HBAGC Key
Awards on Oct. 8. In 2004, the jury decided to award one urban/infill project
and one suburban/new development project. The two award
recipients in 2004 are:
Block Y,
developed
by Thrush Realty Inc, designed by Fitzgerald Associates Archtects
and built by Thrush Construction Inc.; and
Hometown Aurora
developed by Perry
Bigelow Homes, designed by Bigelow Homes and built by Bigelow Homes.
