Earning too much to qualify for limited affordable housing options, yet not enough for market-rate luxury homes, is a dilemma many families face across Chicago. We are working to bridge that gap and make homeownership attainable for working-class families by developing well-designed homes on underutilized vacant land. This initiative introduces much-needed 'missing middle' infill housing to areas where it's most needed, creating a clear path for families to achieve stability and build long-term wealth through homeownership.

A: Missing Middle Chicago is a private organization managed by Alteza Group. While the City of Chicago launched and oversees the Missing Middle Infill Housing Initiative program, the actual development is led and managed by selected private developers like Alteza Group. As a selected developer, we are responsible for planning, financing, building, and delivering these homes in alignment with the program’s goals and requirements. "Missing Middle Housing" is a widely used term in urban planning to describe housing types that bridge the gap between single-family homes and large apartment buildings. These include duplexes, triplexes, four-flats, townhomes, and other multi-unit housing. We are using Missing Middle Chicago for branding and marketing purposes only to represent the types of properties being developed.
