MeadowPark Opens on Techny Road

MeadowPark, a new Northbrook office development, opened last week at Techny Road and Founders Drive.

Three of the four buildings that will eventually make up the complex have already been built and include well-known tenants such as the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Bright Horizons Child Care.

“We are thrilled to welcome MeadowPark and its tenants to the Northbrook community,” said Sandy Frum, Village President of Northbrook. “This high quality office development is a significant private investment that will bring jobs, economic growth and most importantly, provide access to quality services for area families making Northbrook an even better place to live and work.”

The $20 million, 50,000-square-foot project will bring about 420 jobs and an estimated $250,000 in annual tax revenue to Northbrook.

MeadowPark was developed by J.F. McKinney and Associates.

“Our vision was to ensure MeadowPark was an office development that tenants would be proud to call home and that area residents would be proud to have in their community,” said Jack McKinney, former president of J.F. McKinney and Associates and currently the vice chairman of Cushman & Wakefield. “Not only is the space well designed and built for quality, but the best part is that the tenants are world class.”

A fourth building is under construction. Here is what the project will include once complete.

· 1101 Techny Road is a 12,600 square foot building leased in its entirety to Bright Horizons, an internationally recognized child development center serving, with this location serving employees at nearby corporate campuses.

· 1131 Techny Road is an 18,000 square foot building leased in its entirety to Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago (formerly Children’s Memorial Hospital).
