IRVING PARK — A nonprofit developer’s proposal to build 100 percent affordable apartments in Irving Park tailored to Indigenous people won City Council approval Wednesday.

Affordable housing developer Full Circle Communities partnered with Native American-led nonprofit Visionary Ventures in 2023 to construct the seven-story building at 2907 W. Irving Park Road.

The development will serve as a shared place for Chicago’s Native American community, but apartments won’t be earmarked for Indigenous neighbors.

It will feature 45 apartments and about 3,000 square feet of commercial space, according to plans shared with Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez’s (33rd) office.
