New rowhouses to be built in Gurnee
Posted November 19, 2007 10:00 pm
Gurnee is about to grow by 137 rowhouses on its far north side.
Village board trustees voted 6-0 late Monday in favor of the Silverleaf complex pitched by Avis Investments Inc. of Chicago. The homes, expected to cost an average of $230,000, will rise near St. Paul Avenue and Delany Road.
Gurnee had an ordinance that would have allowed up to 198 apartment units on the property where Silverleaf will be built. Village officials viewed the 137 rowhouses as preferable to the 198 apartments.
Mark Avis, who heads the company building the Silverleaf rowhouses, said the development will offer amenities such as a fenced dog-play area and community gathering spots.
