Naperville approves Iron Gate Motor Plaza

NAPERVILLE - The Naperville City Council this week approved the expansion of Iron Gate Motor Plaza, a garage lifestyle complex for motoring enthusiasts.

Council members unanimously approved business zoning for part of the 45-acre site project.

"Iron Gate Motor Plaza was contemplated to feature auto-related businesses along the Ferry Road frontage. Businesses like car retail, a premium car detail center, a high-end service and tuning center along with aftermarket audio and video were all business types in the mix," said Iron Gate Motor Condo developer Tom Burgess,

The plaza has secured relationships with Brighton Car Wash, Fluid Motor Union and Soundz Plus, Burgess said, and talks are ongoing with other car-related services that seek a presence at the innovative garage lifestyle complex.

"Iron Gate Motor Plaza is the logical next step of the successful development of Iron Gate Motor Condos," said Burgess. "Businesses like car retailers, a premium car detail center, a high end service and tuning center along with aftermarket audio and video are all business types we envision at this site."

Council members expressed concern about parking management, but it was noted Iron Gate Motor Condos has hosted five car shows and two fundraisers, with no parking issues.

"I've been out there several times. It's a spectacular development and everyone had a wonderful time," said Mayor Steve Chirico.
