Redevelopment plans for the former Allstate Corp. headquarters near South Barrington are gaining steam.
A real estate company called Opus wants to purchase the roughly 67-acre site at Higgins and Bartlett roads from Allstate and construct three light-industrial buildings.
To smooth the way for that plan, Allstate has asked the South Barrington village board to annex the land, which had been part of the village until it was disconnected by a court order last year. It’s now considered to be in unincorporated Cook County.
South Barrington’s plan commission, which advises the village board on development matters, recommended approval of the site plan last week.
The village board is expected to consider the proposal when it next meets at 7 p.m. July 9 at village hall, 30 Barrington Road.
