AECOM-Canyon Partners and Tucker Development ("Tucker") today announce their partnership to develop a mixed-use project in Lincolnwood, Illinois, a premier suburb outside of Chicago. The project ("District 1860") will consist of 299 mid-rise multifamily units, an Amazon Fresh grocery store and over 40,000 leasable square-footage of additional retail and restaurant space. The joint venture simultaneously closed on a senior construction loan from Pacific Western Bank ("PWB") and construction has already begun.
In close proximity to downtown Chicago and Evanston, the transit-oriented development is readily accessible to major highways, Oakton-Skokie CTA and Edgebrook Metra train stations. The complex will also have easy access to neighboring employment hubs as well as Chicago O'Hare International Airport. At closing, the retail space is 65% pre-leased and will notably feature an Amazon Fresh grocery store. The development will include additional retail space with multiple dining options, public space for gatherings as well as Class-A multifamily units with high end finishes and amenities.
"We are excited to partner with AECOM-Canyon on this dynamic & transformative project. We'd like to thank the Village of Lincolnwood and Mayor Jesal Patel for their strong & unwavering support of District 1860."
- Richard H. Tucker at Tucker
The project is expected to be completed during 2023.
