en.Wedoany.com Reported - The "Garden Station" project, located in the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) district of Villa Park, Illinois, has been re-approved and is now moving full speed ahead toward construction. This mixed-use luxury residential community with 348 units recently received re-approval from the Villa Park Village Planning and Zoning Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals, and is awaiting final approval from the Village Council in the coming weeks.
Upon completion, the project is expected to become the largest net-zero mixed-use residential development in the United States, aiming to set a new benchmark for sustainable housing while meeting the growing demand for accessible, high-quality housing in DuPage County. Garden Station is designed to meet rigorous sustainability standards, incorporating multiple Passive House principles and advanced energy-efficient technologies to minimize environmental impact while reducing utility costs for residents.
The project will offer nearly 30 lifestyle amenities, including a resort-style swimming pool, a dog park and dedicated pet-walking area, a pet grooming station, co-working and WeWork-style workspaces, a private cinema, fitness and wellness facilities, community gathering spaces, and outdoor recreational amenities. Dr. Ganesan Visvabharathy, founder and CEO of Hawthorne World, stated that the project aims to create a community that integrates environmental responsibility, exceptional living experiences, and accessible life opportunities, demonstrating that sustainability and affordability can go hand in hand.
The project previously experienced delays due to a default by the senior lender and subsequent foreclosure litigation. After the foreclosure lawsuit was dismissed and an alternative lender was secured, the project has now resumed progress. Garden Station is expected to play a significant role in addressing the housing shortage in DuPage County while supporting Villa Park Village's long-term economic development and sustainability goals. Located within the village's TOD district, the project will provide residents with convenient access to public transit, employment centers, shopping, dining, and recreational opportunities in the Chicago metropolitan area.
