🌟 This #GivingTuesday, join us in supporting the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s mission to end hunger in our community. Since 1979, they’ve been fighting hunger with a network of 800 local pantries, shelters, and programs.

Thanks to generous donors, PBD and our partners were able to help GCFD complete the Nourish Project—completed in 2024—and expand the Food Depository’s capacity to provide over 30,000 nutritious meals daily, including culturally appropriate meals for asylum seekers and medically tailored meals for those in need. The new facility also supports local economies by partnering with minority-owned restaurants and generating jobs in underserved communities.

Your donation today helps feed our neighbors, provide jobs, and strengthen our community. Together, we can make a real difference. Donation link in bio 🌍❤️

The Greater Chicago Food Depository, established i

The Greater Chicago Food Depository, established in 1979, works to end hunger in the community by supporting a network of 800 local pantries, shelters, and programs. In 2019, guided by the PBD team it completed Phase I of the Nourish Project, enhancing cold storage, upgrading its warehouse, and creating new volunteer spaces. PBD and GCFD finished Phase II in 2024, further expanding the facility’s capacity to produce nutritious meals, while also creating economic opportunities in underserved communities. The expansion allowed the Food Depository to deliver over 20,000 culturally appropriate meals daily to asylum seekers in 2023, in partnership with 17 minority-owned restaurants.

The 38,000-square-foot expansion includes Chicago’s Community Kitchens, which produces up to 10,000 meals daily for vulnerable populations. Designed by Partners by Design, the new facility focuses on increasing meal production and improving food processing. It now prepares over 30,000 meals a day, catering to cultural preferences and special dietary needs. The redesigned space also features better truck parking, a welcoming lobby with a statement light fixture by K2, and sustainable landscaping with a hydroponic garden. The facility earned a LEED Silver rating for its environmentally conscious design.

The environmental branding by Spark celebrates the organization’s mission and community impact. A founder wall honors the six original founders, while a donor wall with 800,000 dots represents individual contributors. The new exterior will feature rotating murals by local artists, further strengthening community ties.

Overall, the Food Depository’s redesign reflects its commitment to fighting hunger and supporting Chicago’s diverse communities.

We are very pleased to see 2 of our recent interiors projects featured in @canadianarchitect.

Toronto is embracing the future of sustainable architecture with the T3 Sterling Road and T3 Bayside office buildings. These innovative mass timber structures designed by @dlr_group combine the charm of industrial design with modern amenities, offering healthier, biophilic workspaces. With features like exposed wood beams, natural light, and eco-friendly construction, these buildings are not just beautiful—they also store carbon and reduce environmental impact.

We are proud to unveil Porter Apartments by Focus

We are proud to unveil Porter Apartments by Focus Development our latest project located just a few blocks from downtown Oak Park. Built by @boothhansen, Porter is situated in the heart of the Oak Park Historic District and overlooks the picturesque Mills Park.

Capturing the dynamic energy of jazz, Porter’s design is inspired by the syncopated rhythms and rich tones of this genre to create a design language. This approach not only celebrates Oak Park’s cultural legacy but also introduces a sophisticated blend of classic materials and contemporary elegance.

Porter features 158 thoughtfully designed residences, including 153 refined apartments and 5 distinct maisonettes with private entrances. Residents enjoy a suite of amenities that reflect comfort and convenience: from a state-of-the-art yoga studio and luxury fitness center to a sunlit sundeck with alfresco dining, grills, and a firepit.
