Barrington’s downtown Golden Triangle area is about to burst with long-awaited redevelopment.
A four-story, mixed-use building will spring up on the area bounded by Hough Street, Liberty Street and the junction of the railway tracks. In addition to residential, retail and restaurant development, the project will have a novel element — car condos.
Trustees approved Barrington resident Joe Taylor III and Compasspoint Development’s proposal for 200-300 N. Hough St. at the Dec. 11 village board meeting. The 6.2-acre project will fill out the remaining property in the triangle area on the south side of West Liberty Street, including the former Market Center building and the former Volvo dealership.
It will include the Mylo Barrington, a 125-unit luxury apartment building with 12,610 square feet of commercial restaurant and retail space. The building will have a 2,938-square-foot combined full-service restaurant/coffee lounge and residential lobby owned by the developer and open to the public.
The Roost Motor Club car condominiums will be located on the parcel nearest to the two rail lines and be bounded on the north by Liberty Street. With a design mimicking modern farmhouses and equestrian barns, it will offer space for 38 condos with room for high-end cars in each unit.
“It’s very exciting,” said Village President Karen Darch, because it will see the completion of most of the development of what has been known as Redevelopment Area One. She noted the apartment building at 101 W. Liberty St. already is there.
