Homes made from shipping containers could be built and ready to occupy next year on a vacant stretch of the South Side, developers said Wednesday.
Darryl Burton and Anthony Casboni, partners in the project, plan 12 of the homes on land Casboni’s family has owned for years at 7231 S. Vincennes Ave. in Greater Grand Crossing. They said the development, using 8-by-40-foot containers that ordinarily hold products shipped overseas, will be the first of its kind inside the city.
