“There are many important development projects in Westmont at this moment,” said Westmont Mayor Ron Gunter. “Currently, we have over $250 million worth of economic development investment under review or already underway. It’s an exciting time for the community.” Following is an update regarding some of Westmont’s current economic development projects:
FMC NATATORIUM AT TY WARNER PARK
Construction on the Natatorium project at Ty Warner Park is on schedule and will continue through the winter. The project developers plan for the facility to be completed in the Spring of 2020 and the first formal swimming competition is slated for next Summer.
MEDICAL OFFICE ON OGDEN
A new multi-story medical building has been approved for the 300 block of West Ogden Avenue, west of Park Street. The development will include the corner property and the adjoining strip mall. The project is planning to begin demo in the early spring. The Village is working with current businesses to relocate within Westmont.
NORTH CASS AVENUE TOWNHOMES
The new townhomes development at 414 North Cass Avenue, just south of the Westmont Public Library, is well underway and are now available for purchase. This residential project is comprised of 22 luxury townhomes. The development is expected to be completed within the first half of 2020.
OAKMONT POINT
The Oakmont Point project, located on Oakmont Lane off Pasquinelli Drive, initially consists of the redeveloping an existing structure, which was previously owned by the Sirva Company. The structure has been divided into two separate buildings, and as of November, the business Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) has taken occupancy. Future plans include utilizing a portion of the current parking lot to build a third building. The multi-building project is expected to provide 275,000 sq. ft. of office space.
ONE NORTH CASS
Village staff is working closely with a developer regarding the property at the northeast corner of Cass and Burlington. The preliminary plans for this proposed development include a mixed-use building with first-floor commercial space, structured parking, and several floors of apartments. Development details will become available once the project is formally submitted to the Village.
QUINCY STATION AT CASS & QUINCY
This development recently held a ground-breaking ceremony, and demolition of existing structures has now been completed. Quincy Station will be a 5-story, 94-unit luxury apartment building that will bring more residents and footsteps to downtown Westmont. The project is expected to be completed and ready for residential occupancy by the fall of 2021.
NEW WESTMONT PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY
On August 24, the Village of Westmont Public Works Department hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for their new facility to be constructed at 55 East Burlington Avenue. The new Public Works facility will include a new fueling center, a vehicle storage garage, offices, weather command center, and a landscaped corridor along the train tracks. The new Westmont Public Works building is scheduled to be in operation by the fall of 2020.
MARKET CENTRE AT 63rd & CASS
Both L.A. Fitness and Raising Canes restaurant expect to be completed and occupied in 2020. In September, the developer obtained approval for a change in uses within the project.
