Our Projects

REBLD transformed the former MTV Real World House in Wicker Park into eight luxury rental apartments with a brand new commercial space at ground level.

REBLD walked the building and advised on the construction strategy and cost before the client made the investment. What followed was a strategic plan that aligned with leasing goals: for REBLD to deliver the first model unit by March 8. The result? All seven units rented by May 1 — at full asking price.

REBLD walked the building pre-close to help shape the budget, scope, and layout strategy. The team delivered a phased renovation with in-unit laundry, mechanical upgrades, and smarter layouts—without full gutting—resulting in faster lease-up and stronger rents.

REBLD renovated this 1960s multifamily building under occupied conditions, working tier by tier to maintain cash flow. Collaborating early with ownership, they optimized layouts for better rents. The result: modern, functional rentals with new kitchens and baths.

REBLD is managing a full-gut renovation of a former furniture store on Lincoln Ave., including major structural upgrades that retrofit the original timber frame with new steel. The finished project will feature 16 luxury rentals, a new commercial space, and below-ground parking.

REBLD worked closely with ownership all the way from pre-closing to determine a construction strategy that would allow a full renovation of six units and the addition of a full garden build-out.

REBLD helped modernize a vintage 1930s Chicago walk-up by creating an "open plan" concept by relocating the kitchen to the front of the unit and adding in-unit laundry.

As part of Chicago's expanding ADU program, REBLD relocated mechanicals, created new masonry openings, and coordinated heavy excavation and structural upgrades in an occupied building to turn a dead basement into a habitable 8th unit with modern amenities.

REBLD quickly upgraded this north-side unit to condo-level quality in between tenant leases.
