The city marked the completion of a new affordable housing complex in Albany Park on Wednesday — the Maria Elena Sifuentes Apartments, located at 3559 W. Lawrence Ave. The complex is a six-story, mixed-use development with most of the residential units designated as affordable housing.

The $26 million project received substantial assistance from the city after it was selected in the Department of Housing’s 2019 funding round.
