Making History Together

Never before has such a broad alliance of architectural, engineering, and union talent come together to donate materials, labor, and services to build a fully accessible ADA-compliant group home for seniors with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It began when a for-sale sign was spotted on a large corner lot near an Envision Unlimited Day Center on Chicago’s southwest side. Months passed, then years, and the land remained unsold. Envision contacted owner, Andreas J. Mueller of Naples, Florida, with an offer: Since you can’t sell the land, why not donate it?

Mueller agreed.
