Suburb Envisions New Look for South Side

MUNDELEIN, IL-A 10-month study by Camiros Ltd. recommends redevelopment scenarios for large tracts of land at the crossroads of central Lake County. More than $10 million in infrastructure is necessary to make it reality.

MUNDELEIN, IL-Village officials in this far north suburb have approved rezoning of a single-family home at 650 S. Butterfield Rd. for a 6,600-sf, four-store retail center. While they have not seen a formal development proposal for the project, village officials have bigger things on the drawing board in the Southside Commercial Corridor.

First, the Krispy Kreme donut chain has announced it will build on an outlot in the Oak Creek Plaza shopping center on Townline Road, which is anchored by a Menard’s, says community development director Daniel Ungerleider. That should be “a good magnet for a lot of retail uses,” Ungerleider believes. Other outlots are available, and Chicago-based MJ Partners advertises 160,000 sf of retail space is available at Oak Creek Plaza.

However, several large areas in the southern portion of the village have been earmarked for major redevelopment or development following a 10-month study by Camiros Ltd., which found several cases of underutilized property in an area bisected by three major arterials–Lake Street (US Route 45), Townline Road (Illinois Route 60), and Diamond Lake Road–that form the crossroads of central Lake County. Recommendations included developing mixed-use commercial infill, increasing multifamily condominium options, developing additional industrial sites and improving infrastructure, particularly roads, to make that development happen. Public investment was estimated at $10.1 million.
