Skender recently broke ground on Jigzibik, a seven-story, 62,000-square-foot mixed-use development that marks Chicago’s first affordable housing project centered on serving Native American communities.

Mayor Brandon Johnson joined with city official and the project team to celebrate the groundbreaking of the development located at 2907 W. Irving Park Road in the Irving Park neighborhood. The project will provide Native-inclusive affordable housing, dedicated nonprofit office space, and a rooftop community gathering area.

The development is led by Visionary Ventures, a Native-led non-profit organization, and co-led by Full Circle Communities, with Canopy Architecture + Design as architect and Skender overseeing construction.
The seven-story mixed-use building will offer 45 residential units between floors 2-6, including 10 studio, 15 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom, and 10 three-bedroom apartments. The project is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.
