Barrington trustees Monday put the final touches on a redevelopment agreement for a mixed-use project on Hough Street between the Union Pacific and Canadian National Railway tracks.

The location is officially known as Redevelopment Area #1, but is also dubbed the Golden Triangle.

Joe Taylor III of Compasspoint Development plans to redevelop the former site of the Market Center building and a Volvo dealership at on North Hough Street. The $90 million project includes a four-story building, the Mylo, with 125 residential units and approximately 12,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space — Taylor said he is negotiating a high-end restaurant lease for 6,000 square feet.

It will also include the MotorCave Auto Suites, a place for car enthusiasts to keep and display their vehicles.
