Meet the Team Behind
Townhomes on Prairie
Developer
Jeff Cohen
Jeffrey Cohen brings nearly four decades of hands-on construction experience to The Townhomes on Prairie. After beginning his career practicing law in Chicago while simultaneously renovating residential properties throughout Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park, Jeff discovered that his true passion was building. He founded Canada & Klein, Ltd. in 1988 and has since built a longstanding reputation throughout the Greater Chicago area for quality construction, thoughtful execution and dependable project management.
Canada & Klein’s work spans new construction, custom homes, renovations, additions and design/build projects, with an emphasis on craftsmanship, attention to detail and long-term value. Jeff’s extensive experience allows him to approach construction with both a builder’s practical knowledge and a problem solver’s perspective, carefully considering how a home will function, perform, and endure over time.
That experience is at the foundation of The Townhomes on Prairie. From construction quality to the details buyers may never see, each residence reflects Jeff’s commitment to building homes thoughtfully, responsibly and with lasting quality.

Meet Jennifer Boudreau
Jennifer and her husband are busy raising two teenage daughters, which means life is filled with carpools, sports, activities, late-night Target runs, and trying to figure out what everyone is eating for dinner. She understands firsthand the juggling act families face and loves helping clients navigate all stages of life. She loves helping all types of clients, whether they’re buying their very first home, making a move from the city, upsizing for more space, or downsizing into a simpler lifestyle.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find Jennifer walking her goldendoodle, Dakota, traveling with her family, or squeezing in a workout at Lifetime Fitness. She’s passionate about health and fitness and spends most mornings strength training or taking yoga and Core Tone reformer classes before starting her day.
Giving back and being involved in the community has always been important to Jennifer and her family.
Above all else, Jennifer values relationships over transactions. Her goal is not just to help clients buy or sell a home, but to become a trusted resource long after closing day.
