The development firm of Centerville Properties commissioned Aria Group Architects to develop the master plan as well as design many individual buildings contained in the plan. Spread over 40 acres in suburban Algonquin, the master plan includes mixed-use retail and work/live condo units, office buildings, retail buildings and restaurant pad sites. Integrated into Aria’s master plan will be a large residential development to the west of the first phase site.

 

Creating and developing mixed-use projects is often a complex development venture. Centerville’s bold concept brings to the fringe suburbs a work/live environment that is both sociologically and environmentally sound. Higher density land development, which includes a carefully selected mix of office, retail, and residential space, will be the foundation of this project. Typically, these types of developments are completed in more urban or established town center infrastructures. It is hoped the success of this project is viewed as and viable alternative to the highly compartmentalized, low density developments that overtake farmland, diminish a sense of community, proliferate suburban sprawl and contribute to global warming.
