Showcase: New Luxury Condo Development Benefits Infant Welfare Society

On Sept. 11th, a variety of civic and business leaders gathered in the showroom of Altierra Development Group for a preview of the firm’s luxury condominium development—and in support of the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society.

In addition to Altierra’s Jonathan Shack and Paul Zimmermann, project architect John Schiess of JCS Architects and Rich Gloor of Gloor Realty Co. hosted the gathering, which attracted more than 80 people to the showroom at 139 S. Oak Park Ave.

Guests included Infant Welfare Society board members, Oak Park Economic Development Corp. Executive Director John Hedges, Village Clerk Teresa Powell, OPRF Community Foundation Executive Director Kristin Carlson Vogen, Wednesday Journal publisher Dan Haley, OPRF Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cathy Yen and a cross-section of other leading community members.

Representatives of the project lender, Community Bank of Oak Park & River Forest, including President Walter Healy, were also on hand.

Guests enjoyed catering from Maya del Sol and learned more about The Residences at Maple Place, the three- and four-bedroom condo development scheduled to break ground within weeks at 1133 Chicago Ave. The upscale 10-unit development is marked by a variety of ecologically friendly features that will make it the most energy-efficient condominium development in Oak Park, and among the most energy-efficient condo properties in the region.

The event hosts are donating $10 for each attendee to the Infant Welfare Society, whose mission is to provide all children with unfettered access to quality health care. To learn more about the organization, visit http://www.childrenscliniciws.org/
