Located in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, Belray Apartments features an ornate glazed-brick facade and archways topped with green terracotta roof detailing, original to its 1920s design. The four-story brick building was acquired by Mercy Housing in 1999 and transformed into a supportive housing complex for single adults experiencing homelessness.

The rehabilitation of the existing 70-unit SRO includes reconfiguring resident and employee services on the ground floor, expanding unit sizes by reducing the total unit count to 51, and upgrading MEP systems, finishes, accessibility, and energy performance. The first floor will offer a large community kitchen, art therapy space, a community room, bike storage, and laundry facilities. A four-story addition adjacent to the existing building will provide 35 new SRO units along with community spaces and employee facilities.
