“We are proud to have partnered with Redwood to bring this new neighborhood to life in Crystal Lake,” commented David J. Rintz, Regional Vice President – Multi-Family at McShane. “Redwood Crystal Lake offers residents a unique combination of privacy, convenience, and upscale finishes, and we’re excited to see this build-to-rent community thrive.”

Designed by Mann Parsons Gray Architects, the community integrates 25 single-story townhome-style buildings with four to six units each. The wood-frame homes showcase attractive facades of vinyl siding and stone veneer.

Each apartment offers a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom open concept floor plan complemented by a private attached two-car garage and a personal patio. High-end finishes and features include stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, luxury vinyl tile flooring, and full-size washer/dryer hookups.

On-site amenities are comprised of thoughtfully designed green spaces, pet waste stations, and designated guest parking.

“We are extremely proud to deliver this monumental development for Brinshore and The Chicago Lighthouse,” stated David J. Rintz, Regional Vice President – Multi-Family at McShane. “Thanks to their tireless efforts, multiple underserved populations have access to high-quality housing that meets their needs at an affordable rate.”

Situated on a site adjacent to The Chicago Lighthouse’s center in the Illinois Medical District, the podium-style building features nine stories with three levels of parking, six levels of units, and first-floor retail space. The exterior integrates a mix of perforated metal panels, brick veneer, and fiber cement siding. At roof level, back-lit translucent panels symbolize a lighthouse.

Units are offered in studio, one-, and two-bedroom floorplans that provide accessible, independent living for qualifying low-income households. Features include solid surface kitchen countertops for added durability, Energy Star appliances with front controls and tactile operation, WaterSense plumbing fixtures, cultured marble vanities, and dimmable lighting.

Additionally, there is contrasting flooring in front of the kitchen cabinets, and the finishes for appliances, cabinets, hardware, and countertops were selected to provide higher contrast for those with limited sight. Two-bedroom units also offer in-unit washers and dryers.

Tenant amenities include a fitness center, community room, and fourth-floor rooftop terrace. Outside, residents can enjoy a courtyard with a dog run and a playground.

To make the residence fully accessible for its tenants, the common areas offer contrasting colors, lit braille unit signage, handrails on both sides of the corridors, braille wallpaper, braille numbering on the mailboxes, contrasting flooring in front of unit doors, and accessible elevators with audible signals. Additionally, the property has black light switches, outlets, and window controls to contrast with white walls throughout.

As part of the project, McShane Ashlaur brought all right-of-way sidewalks to meet ADA compliance.

Notable features include gilded leaf wallcoverings in the property’s signature restaurant, a wood panel surround bar in the pub, faux green walls and planters in the fitness center and dining areas, and botanical fabrics and wallcoverings in the full-service salon.
