For more than 40 years, Optima has changed the landscape of design and real estate development across the Chicago and Phoenix markets. Since its founding in 1978 by David and Eileen Hovey, Optima set out to control and execute every aspect of the process in-house – development, design, construction, sales and management – for a dynamic system that offers greater efficiency and flexibility. Working together with David Hovey Jr., AIA and Tara Hovey, they continue to refine Optima's visionary approach, innovative technology and progressive environmental standards.

Most recently, we have brought our unique approach to creating built environments to the city’s Lakeview neighborhood, as Optima Lakeview opens its doors as the boldly beautiful vision of award-winning architects David C. Hovey, FAIA, and David Hovey, Jr., AIA.

Neighborhood

Lakeview East Chicago, IL:
Optima's Luxury Apartment Neighborhood

Live in the Heart of Chicago's Lakeview Area

Lakeview is full of Chicago culture and history, yet it radiates the vibrancy of newness, with every small business or tantalizing restaurant on its avenues and streets. The Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago emits a laid back, neighborly welcome, yet its heart beats with an urban pulse. It attracts youthful energy, yet retains generations of cherished stories. In spite of these apparent contradictions — or perhaps because of them — Lakeview continues to thrive with an unquenchable vitality that has fostered and inspired performers, athletes, writers, activists and inventors to embrace a world that is perfect in its imbalance. And with its lively mix, Lakeview remains a unique gem that represents the past, present and future of Chicago.
