by Channing Hamilton

When New York-based developer Jonathan Rose Cos. (JRC) acquired the Barbara Jean Wright Court Apartments in 2021, the 272-unit, low-rise, 40 percent Section 8 community in Chicago’s University Village neighborhood was in need of some serious repair.  Originally built in the 1970s and remodeled in 1999, the complex’s HVAC systems, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms and boilers were long past the point of needing a complete overhaul.
