CHICAGO, July 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Common, the nation's leading residential brand that designs, leases and operates community-oriented multifamily properties, today announced the opening of its new Chicago 223-bed flagship property Common Addams in partnership with Chicago coliving pioneers City Pads. Located at 1401-1431 W 15th Street with 59 apartments, Common Addams is the company's largest multifamily property under management in Chicago and its fourth with City Pads. Common Addams offers an attainable all-inclusive residential option for the often underserved workforce in the Illinois Medical District, competitively priced starting  at under $900/month.

"Now more than ever, Chicago residents need affordability and reliability in the places they call home. As the world changes, Common is committed to continuing to meet the needs of renters, and the beautiful apartments and thoughtful amenities in Common Addams do just that," said Common founder and CEO Brad Hargreaves. "We're so lucky to have found such a complimentary partner as City Pads to bring Common Addams to life and increase the housing stock for a neighborhood that truly needs it-- the Illinois Medical District."

Common Addams tops out at four stories, 59 suites and 223 beds, with over 4,000 square feet of amenity spaces and on-site parking garage.

Residents will also get access to Connect by Common, Common's proprietary technology that makes payments, roommate communication, and virtual events easily available online.   

"We are proud to see Common Addams open its doors and deliver on our promise to provide Chicago with its first large-scale coliving development," said Andy Ahitow, Founder of City Pads. "Bringing new housing to a city in desperate need of alternative and accessible residential options is core to our mission, and I love seeing Chicago's medical community benefit from this living experience."
