43 Green
Dukane Precast played a pivotal role as the primary supplier of precast components for the 43 Green Apartment Building project. These precision-engineered components, produced at Dukane Precast's state-of-the-art facilities, include wall panels, floor slabs, and other critical elements essential for the construction of the apartments.
The 43 Green Apartment Building project in Chicago stands as a testament to sustainable living and community-centric design. Situated near the 43rd Street Green Line station, this development draws inspiration from Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) projects on the North side of Chicago. Like its counterparts, 43 Green features smaller yet highly efficient apartments and reduced surface parking to optimize cost-efficiency. This approach ensures affordable rents for tax-credit-qualified renters and middle-income residents, including teachers, tradespeople, public employees, and early career professionals.

The incorporation of precast concrete components has contributed numerous benefits to the 43 Green Apartment Building project, ensuring a superior and sustainable residential complex. Some key advantages include:
-
Efficient Construction: Precast components are manufactured off-site in parallel with other construction activities, resulting in shorter construction timelines and reduced on-site labor requirements.
-
Durability and Quality: The controlled factory environment in which precast components are produced ensures consistent quality, strength, and long-term durability. This guarantees the resilience and longevity of the 43 Green Apartment Building.
-
Sustainable Development: Precast concrete is recognized for its sustainable attributes, such as reduced material waste and improved energy efficiency. By utilizing precast components, the project supports environmentally-conscious construction practices, aligning with the goals of sustainable urban development.
