Kimball Hill and Naperville
Kimball Hill homes is still trying to make things work at the southeast corner (currently known as Mayneland Farm) of Mill and Bauer. A community of 59 and 22 single family townhomes is having a hard time getting passed, neighbors are concerned about density (understandable) and Kimball Hill is concerned about utilizing the property correctly (also understandable)
On another front they are also attempting to build on a large parcel of land just south of Ogden and east of Rt59... a townhome community (280 units - called Townes of Greenbriar) located behind the Krispy Kreme (does it seem like I think of food all the time?) While this spot is contiguous to other residential development, about 30 acres of it is currently zoned commercial... district 204 is concerned about the additional students this could bring.
On a completely different scale Kimball Hill is developing Settler's Ridge (along the RT30 extension... that's the Sugar Grove exit from I88) this will be a "high concept" community of 1300 acres and almost 2500 homes. Lot's of preserved space is in the plan.
Kimball Hill has been building in the Chicago area for many years, including developments in Carol Stream, Naperville, Aurora and Yorkville.
Possibly what they are best known for is creating the city of Rolling Meadows.
