Skender, as general contractor, broke ground on Deerfield Supportive Living, a 105,000-square-foot project that will provide supportive senior housing at 1101 Lake Cook Road in Deerfield, Illinois.
Developed by Celadon Partners, the four-story building consists of 147 units of affordable senior living apartments.
The new building will include dining rooms, space for private dining and events, activity rooms, a library, a salon and a general store. The centerpiece of the building’s common area will be a large living and dining space with an open, double-sided fireplace lounge, perfect for hosting activities and encouraging socialization between residents, staff and visitors alike.
With an expected completion date of mid-2026, the project is pursuing Enterprise Green Communities Building certification, which was developed to align affordable housing investment strategies with environmentally friendly building practices. These high sustainability standards are intended to reduce the building’s environmental impact and improve the health and well-being of its residents. The building will feature eco-friendly paint, coatings, plumbing fixtures, lighting, heating equipment and appliances.
In addition to Skender as general contractor, the project team consists of Assemble Design Workshop as architect and SAS Architects & Planners as interior designers.
