About this Article

The Water Street development proposed for downtown Naperville has shrunk again. At an open house Thursday night, developer Marquette Companies presented plans that call for shorter buildings and fewer parking spaces as part of the development, which is slated to include a hotel and a mix of retail, restaurant and office spaces. “We've taken height off every building,” said Jeff Prosapio, director of project management for Marquette Companies.
