Since 1995, the Chicago Neighborhood Development Awards (CNDA) have recognized the essential role that both non-profit and for-profit developers play in building healthy Chicago communities.
On April 5, at the annual CNDA Awards, The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Award for Architectural Excellence in Community Design was presented for the 21st year. The Award was established to encourage development that respects and strengthens the city’s architectural heritage – especially in communities confronting economic and social challenges.
