Esplanade (Algonquin)

Esplanade (Algonquin)

The Esplanade is a mixed-use development under construction on Randall Road next to the lifestyle center Algonquin Commons in Algonquin, Illinois. It is part of the Algonquin Corporate Campus. It is being built by commercial developers Centerville Properties. Currently, plans are for a few mixed-use three-story buildings containing apartments and ground-level retail located in the center of the development, 280 apartments spread across a dozen three-story apartment buildings located in the rear of the development to be built by Residential Homes of America, several office buildings concentrated in the center of the development, multi-tenant retail service buildings, and several restaurants located in the center and peripheral edges of the property, primarily along Randall Road and Corporate Parkway. A daycare center will also be part of the development, as will several industrial sites, and a possible hotel. Focal features include an arch over the main entrance, a namesake esplanade which will connect the apartments and offices to the shops and restaurants in the front of the property, outdoor terraces in the office buildings, a community center near the apartments, and outdoor patio seating at the anchor restaurants, flanked by graceful ponds, fountains, and landscaping.
