A team of investors has joined forces to bring luxury, energy-efficient container homes to the South Side — and neighbors could move in as soon as this winter. Vincennes Village, a collection of 12 40-foot-long modern, eco-friendly container homes, will be built at 7231 S. Vincennes Ave. — Block Club Chicago

The Vincennes Village initiative, led by project manager Darryl Burton and developer Anthony Casboni, is reportedly the first to bring single-family container homes to Chicago. 

The structures will be built from 8-foot-long train shipping containers, with ceilings spanning nearly 10 feet high. Residences will be 1,200–1,800 square feet in size and two stories tall, including between three to four bedrooms. The new homes are advertised as energy-efficient, featuring motion-activated lights and faucets. 

Onyx Architectural Services, a minority-owned Chicago firm, is the lead developer and aims to offer the homes at a starting price of $270,000.
