Who We Are, What We Do.

At SouthEast Development Association, we are working to create a sustainable future by reinvesting in the small scale housing stock in urban areas. Through responsible restoration and renovation, our mission is to acquire and manage residential, commercial and light industrial real estate on Chicago's South East side.

We plan to retrofit these buildings with building envelope improvements in Insulation, and weatherization, ground activation for innovative storm water management, and green scape for heat island dispersion. Wherever possible, we endeavor to reclaim and reuse building materials through creative architectural design.

At the very core of our approach is our commitment to community. Most recently SouthEast Development has funded and sent our Managing Partners to support neighborhood garden and mural projects, helped to steer the Peace and Progress committee for the 7th Ward, and worked with the Chicago Park District, and the Alliance for the Great Lakes to maintain the Rainbow Beach Dunes in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood. 

Our first project is the historic 3 story building at 7412 S. South Shore Dr. The three year plan is to incorporate on-demand water heating, permeable hard scapes and rain water storage, Solar power for grounds and accent lighting, and green/cool roof retrofit with wind turbines and lightning arrestors.

Future involvement in the Chicago Lakeside project should prove beneficial to everyone. With so much experience in technology and building design and management, SEDA is looking to become a vital partner not only for McCaffery Interests, but also the communities that make up the 7th ward and the larger population of Chicago.

Our hope is to become a case study for everyone who hopes to leverage these technologies and retrofit older properties so that we can all enjoy a cleaner and safer environment, and some pretty cool buildings too!
