Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments (also known as the Rosenwald Apartments or Rosenwald Courts) is a large apartment building located in the Bronzeville neighborhood of the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. It is located at East 47th Street and South Michigan Avenue, just one block east of the former Chicago Housing Authority's Robert Taylor Homes site. In total, the building is made up of 421 apartments, a large landscaped courtyard, and retail space at street level. It was originally built as non-governmental subsidized housing and is considered to be among the earliest mixed-use housing developments.

History

The building was constructed in 1929 by philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, then president of Sears, Roebuck & Company. The housing project was modeled after the Dunbar Apartments built by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in 1926 in Harlem, New York City.[4]

In 1981, Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments received National Register of Historic Places designation.[5]

The last residents moved out in 2000, after mismanagement and lack of upkeep made the site uninhabitable.

In 2010, filming for the 2011 film Dark of the Moon was done on site. In the movie, the apartments doubled as part of the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine.[6]

In 2015, a complete renovation of the building and courtyard, which had been added to the National Register of Historic Places, began. The intention was to create a mixture of senior citizen apartments and affordable housing for families.[7][8]

The rebuilding and landscaping was completed in 2016, and the site reopened to the public as Rosenwald Courts. [9]
