While the commercial development of Bell Works Chicagoland in Hoffman Estates is continuing on pace in 2024, the year’s biggest milestone is expected to be the start of construction on 164 townhouses on the east side of the former AT&T headquarters.
Final approval also will be sought for nearly 300 apartments in the same 20-acre area of the sprawling property, Inspired by Somerset Development CEO Ralph Zucker said.
Though pleased by the office, dining, fitness, and even research and development tenants that have spurred the project on in the wake of the pandemic, Zucker said the imminent residential components will generate round-the-clock life at Bell Works and truly earn it his favorite description — “metroburb.”
“Having over 500 families here is going to be a game-changer,” he said.
Editorial note: That’s “over 500 families” within the District 220 Boundary Map, so yes, that would change things considerably.
