Chicago’s first Native American-focused affordable housing development is topped out at 2907-2917 West Irving Park Road in the Irving Park neighborhood. Jigzibik has risen to its full seven-story height after taking over a vacant mid-block lot this past summer. The building’s sawtooth design is clearly visible, with inset balconies ready to take shape.

Co-developers Full Circle Communities and Visionary Ventures are putting up 45 new units of affordable housing in a 62,000-square-foot structure on the site. Floor plans will include 10 studio apartments plus 15 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom, and 10 three-bedroom layouts. Dwelling units will occupy levels two through six, with a community room, art/maker space, roof deck and garden beds, and a computer lab/library on the seventh floor. Canopy Architecture + Design is the design architect, and Skender is performing general contracting duties.
