PILSEN — A vacant lot at 16th Street and Wolcott Avenue could be turned into an affordable apartment building with over 100 units for older people.
Developer Teo Scorte plans to build a seven-story, 106-unit apartment building for people 55 and older at 1606 S. Wolcott Ave. All apartments would be rented at affordable rates and all units would meet accessibility standards, Rolando Acosta, the developer’s lawyer, said at a community meeting Monday.
The building, dubbed Casa Bienestar, would have 94 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom units. People 55 and older whose income is at 30, 60 and 80 percent of the area median income could apply. Rents would range from $675 to $1,800, Acosta said…
