Virtual Grand Opening

Why the move? Our members and boards of directors have discussed a storefront office for years, so that we’re more accessible and visible to the community. We also need more space for our team and for our programs. The new office features a flexible office environment plus space for gatherings, small events, and meetings. We’re so excited to be neighbors with neighboring businesses Iyanze, Elim, Uptown Bikes, MDT, and all of the other great folks on the block.

Our organizations are excited to invest in the community and in our incredible staff by providing a state-of-the-art storefront work and meeting space. Uptown United has owned this property for several decades. The organization has completely renovated the first-floor office space and storefront in addition to getting some important maintenance work on the building. The new office is easy to find, ADA accessible, and mere steps from the Wilson Red-Purple Line stop. Our move wouldn’t have been possible without our partners: to our architects at SmithGroup, our contractor Lo Destro, and our lenders at Wintrust. Thank you to our boards of directors for leading us through this transition. Another thank you to Landmarks Illinois for awarding us a COVID-19 Organization Relief Grant to assist with our renovations of this landmark property.
