Eight Eleven Uptown, HPA’s 27-story tower with JDL Development, is full speed ahead. Already under construction at the 3.4-acre site at Montrose and Clarendon, the project has been issued a full construction permit to embark on an ambitious redevelopment of a former hospital site that has lain vacant for more than a decade.

The mixed-income housing and retail project includes construction of a 27-story residential tower with 373 apartments and 8 townhouses atop a three-story podium structure with a 30,000 SF Treasure Island grocery, parking and an outdoor terrace. The rooftop amenity offers a swimming pool and spa, and outdoor sitting areas among an expansive landscaped deck. Initial occupancy is anticipated in 2018.
