Lotus Design and Development to Host Community Town Hall Meeting for Proposed Belmont of Lemont Development

Lotus Design and Development will host a community town hall meeting on Tuesday, April 28 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Hughie McClafferty’s, 118 Stephen Street, Lemont, IL 60439, to share additional details and answer questions regarding its proposed residential development at the intersection of Archer Avenue and Bell Road.

The proposed development, known as Belmont of Lemont, is planned as a thoughtfully designed, multi-family residential community. The project has evolved through ongoing review and community feedback, with updated plans reflecting refinements to layout, density and overall site design.

The community town hall will provide residents with an opportunity to meet directly with the development team, review updated plans and ask questions about the project.

Attendees are encouraged to RSVP here.

“We understand that new development brings questions, and we welcome that conversation,” said JonCarlo Abbinante, Lotus Design & Development Property Manager/ Project Engineer. “This open house is about providing clear information and making sure residents have the opportunity to learn more about what is being proposed.”

A Multigenerational Approach to Community Living

Belmont of Lemont is designed to support a multigenerational housing model, offering a mix of residences for a range of residents; from young professionals and empty nesters to extended families seeking proximity and connection.

The development is designed to feel more like a neighborhood than a traditional apartment complex, with a cottage-style layout, smaller-scale buildings and integrated green space. The intent is to create a residential environment that fits with the surrounding area while introducing additional housing options that are currently limited in the local market.

By expanding housing diversity, the development aims to:

Provide options for long-term residents looking to downsize without leaving Lemont

Offer attainable housing opportunities for younger residents and the local workforce

Support families seeking nearby, independent living arrangements for aging relatives

A Proven Approach in Lemont

Lotus Design and Development, led by Rob Abbinante, has completed projects in Lemont that reflect a focus on quality, long-term value and compatibility with the surrounding community.

Previous work includes the preservation and residential conversion of the historic St. James Academy, originally built in 1883, as well as the development of Marbella of Lemont, a mixed-use building located near the downtown and Metra station.

These projects have added residential opportunities, supported nearby businesses and contributed to the continued activity and growth of Lemont’s downtown area.

Responding to Community Input

Lotus Design and Development acknowledges that some residents have raised questions related to traffic, compatibility and density.

The development team has revised the site plan based on feedback and will continue working with the Village of Lemont and the community as the review process continues.

A Strategic Investment in Lemont

Located along a key corridor, the Belmont of Lemont development represents an opportunity to bring new housing to the area while supporting long-term growth.

In addition to expanding housing options, the project is expected to:

Support local businesses through increased residential presence

Enhance the corridor with new investment

Provide a transition between nearby residential and commercial areas

Residents are encouraged to attend the April 28 open house to learn more and share feedback.
