Who is Design Group JEDI?

We are a 100% minority-owned, State of Illinois, Professional Design Firm.

We are #Architects #Planners and #Developers.

We conceive the projects, select their locations, acquire the land, determine the target market, obtain the
financing, oversee the design and construction, and lease-up, or sale of the completed building.
We take on the risks, capture a significant share of the value created by their designs, and profit from the
exchange.

We treat your projects, no different our own.

We together, are the future.
