Clarendale Six Corners

A stunning senior living environment within a mixed-use development, Clarendale Six Corners exemplifies the character and energy of its urban setting. Shaped by Ryan’s commitment to intentional economic impact and community involvement, this revitalizing project reflects the creativity, resourcefulness and perseverance of our development, architecture + engineering, construction and capital markets’ teams.

As Ryan’s developers negotiated multilayered zoning and permitting, our design and construction teams tackled the opportunities and challenges of the tight, V-shaped, semi-excavated, water-filled lot. Embracing the parameters, our designers created a dynamic ten-story triangular design in brick-clad, post-tension concrete, while project management led the intensive problem-solving and coordination necessary to tying a new foundation system into the preexisting one, given earthworks issues and surprises, including a hidden tunnel.

Clarendale Six Corners features 258 residential units—independent, assisted living and memory care, with 11 designated as affordable—and meets Chicago sustainability requirements. The triangular shape strengthens residential experience by shortening walking distances to amenity spaces and enabling independent and assisted residents to intermix on upper floors. The landscaped fourth-floor terrace, elevated above the streets and buffered by the two residential wings, improves seniors’ connection to the outdoors. The third-floor amenities include multiple restaurant-style dining venues that allow the common space to serve varied programming needs, theater, fitness center and salon/spa. The street level provides inviting retail spaces, covered valet parking and 153 off-street parking spots.
