• 'Much more than a building': Buffalo Grove showcases new state-of-the-art fire station (dailyherald.com) — Buffalo Grove has opened its new Fire Station 25 on Dundee Road, designed to better protect both firefighters and residents with modern safety, health, and energy-efficient features. From cleaner air systems and private bunk rooms to faster doors and expanded bays, the station replaces a 50-year-old facility and aims to improve emergency response and firefighter wellness. 
• UrbanStreet slimming down multifamily proposal in Barrington's Golden Triangle (therealdeal.com) — While Barrington's Golden Triangle project is being downsized, Buffalo Grove residents may be more interested that the same developer, UrbanStreet, is co-leading a 256-unit market-rate apartment complex at Chase Plaza. The firm is expanding its suburban portfolio, signaling more multifamily housing and redevelopment activity that could reshape a key local commercial site.
