Auburn Gre­sham is writ­ing its next chap­ter on 79^th Street.

Fea­tured in the May/​June 2026 edi­tion of The Architect’s News­pa­per, Auburn Gre­sham Apart­ments shows how archi­tec­ture can help restore a once-bustling street, bridge gen­er­a­tions, and cre­ate new pos­si­bil­i­ties for a neighborhood’s future.

Designed by Ross Bar­ney Archi­tects with Nia Archi­tects, and devel­oped by Ever­green Real Estate Group and The Imag­ine Group, the project trans­forms two long-vacant parcels into mixed-use hous­ing shaped through deep com­mu­ni­ty engagement.

With 58 new res­i­dences across two dis­tinct build­ings, active ground-floor retail, gen­er­ous out­door spaces, and a new region­al Metra sta­tion under­way near­by, Auburn Gre­sham Apart­ments shows what can hap­pen when invest­ment, design, and com­mu­ni­ty voice come together.

Thank you to The Architect’s News­pa­per and Anjulie Rao for spot­light­ing this project and the peo­ple shap­ing Auburn Gresham’s future.
