More Addison Ave. Multifamily Housing Proposed

ELMHURST, IL – Townhomes are proposed for the 200 block of North Addison Avenue in Elmhurst, continuing the trend of more multifamily housing on the street.

The four townhomes would be at 256 and 260 N. Addison, across the street from the Elmhurst 255 apartment complex, which was built seven years ago.

The new three-story townhomes would be in the place of two houses that were demolished in recent times. They were built in 1891 and 1911. The developer bought both houses for about $300,000 in November 2020, according to real estate records.

The current owner of the properties is Bronge Rize Elmhurst, property tax records show. Named as the manager in Bronge Rize's state corporate filing is Bruce Bronge, president of Oakbrook Terrace-based International Contractors Inc., known as ICI. ICI's address is listed in the filing.

A multifamily development just north of the proposed townhomes has links to Bronge Rize, according to DuPage County tax records. That development also replaced older houses.

On Monday, the City Council's Development, Planning and Zoning Committee is set to review the concept for the townhomes. Information about the development is included on the city's website.
