Jazz @ Walter Circle
East St. Louis, Illinois
Jazz @ Walter Circle is a 4-story mixed-use facility that will include 74 affordable apartments for senior citizens, as well as a community center, several offices, a health-and-wellness facility, a grocery store and other retail space. The Project is LEED Gold certified and includes a community garden and a rooftop terrace, among other green features.
East St. Louis Consortium for Progress, Development and Affordable Housing, an Illinois non-profit corporation will provide community and economic development services at the facility for the residents and the community, including job training and economic development incentive programs to attract retail subtenants. The local community will have access to health and wellness services provided by the Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation on the ground floor. Additionally, the Housing Authority of the City of East St. Louis will have an office on-site, and the remaining retail space will be community oriented. The 74 residential rental units located on the second through fourth floors will provide senior citizens with new, affordable housing. Jobs will be generated by both the construction of the project and the retail uses on the ground floor.
Valley National Bank and Dudley Ventures are proud to have invested and assisted in the financing of this innovative and exciting project.
