Construction Starting Soon On Next Arlington Downs Phase

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — The Village of Arlington Heights said groundbreaking on the next phase of the Arlington Downs development is expected to happen soon. According to The Daily Herald, "soon" is within the next 30 days. Arlington Downs sits along Euclid between IL-53 and Arlington International Racecourse, and the $320 million development site already has 214 luxury apartments with additional ones planned, the Village of Arlington Heights said in a recent Facebook update.

In addition to more residential space, the amenities planned in the next phase are a new hotel, 40,000 square-feet of commercial space and a First Ascent climbing wall facility.

The Daily Herald said Springbank Real Estate Group, the project's development team, got permission from the village board Sept. 4 to pursue revised plans for the 27-acre site of the former Sheraton hotel, adding that original plans for the project were approved in 2012.

Construction on a five-story apartment building on the site's southeast corner is scheduled to begin in November.

The Daily Herald reported as there are also future plans for this project, Springbank officials believe it could take five years for the entire redevelopment to come together.
