Cleland Place affordable housing Wilmette IL Skender

Skender Completes Wilmette Affordable Project

Skender recently completed construction on Cleland Place, a three-story, 16-unit affordable housing development at 1925 Wilmette Ave. in Wilmette, IL. The new development will provide affordable housing for working families, seniors and veterans, and will be operated by the Housing Opportunity Development Corporation (HODC).  

Completing the project within a 10-month timeframe, the Skender team managed the construction in a tight, logistically challenging jobsite with minimal disruption to the surrounding community. The project is named for Jean Cleland, a long-time Wilmette resident and founding member of the HODC, as well as an advocate for civil rights and affordable housing in the North Shore. 

Skender collaborated with developer Housing Opportunity Development Corporation and architect Cordogan Clark & Associates on this project. Skender has recently completed several affordable and supportive housing facilities throughout Chicago and its suburbs.
