description
Osage Courts is an infill multi-family apartment development located directly across the street from Lincoln Park in the culturally rich La Alma/ Lincoln Park Neighborhood. This transit-oriented development provides 121 market-rate rental units within walking distance of the 10th & Osage rail station. The buildings sit on top of a parking structure, creating a landscaped podium space in addition to a roof top deck. All parking is hidden from public view in either the garage or carports. Landscaped planters, front doors, porches and decks provide “eyes on the street” and enhance the pedestrian realm with new, detached sidewalks and street trees.
