A full build out permit has been issued for the mixed-use affordable housing development at 2909 W Irving Park Road in Irving Park. Located mid-block between N Richmond Street and N Francisco Avenue, the new structure would replace a vacant lot along the busy corridor. Efforts for the project are being led by Full Circle Communities and Visionary Ventures.

Dubbed Jigzibik, or Potawatomi for ‘at the river’s edge’, the new building will be the city’s first Native American focused affordable housing project. In collaboration with the Native American Advisory Council, local firm Canopy Architecture + Design worked on the design which celebrates Native culture through built form, per their website.
