I would love to do a prefab home in Chicago.





I live in Garfield Park, which is shaping up to be quite the green neighborhood in the city. It also has the largest amount of vacant lots in the city. I am quite the novice at rehab - and you can tell by how long it is taking me to finish my 2 flat.





But yesterday my friend was saying how great it would be if a developer put modern prefabs up before the condo-boxes. I'd buy one.





It seems like it would be soooo hard to get the city to okay one.

Hi, I live in East Garfield Park at Kedze/Washington.  Where do U live?

Did U every find someone to build one of these?  U can contact me at chekago@yahoo.com.

I am interested in the same thing.

 

Strange enough, I've been developing a prefab for a standard chicago
lot for some time now, and since the Smart Home came to the Museum of
Science and Industry, we've had a huge increase in interest. There are
a couple code issues and inspection issues that we're currently sorting
out with the city, but i think completely prefab houses in the city of
chicago are not far off in our future.  we don't have a website up for
our prefabs yet- but let me know if you're interested and i'll send you
some plans and images. so glad to see so many people are interested in
prefab homes!
