Anthony Place at Prairie Centre Deal Closes
Congratulations are in order to GC Housing Development! On April 25th, their newest location for Anthony Place Senior Residence closed. This new development will be in St. Charles, Illinois. This is the second project Lightengale Group (LGG) closed with GC Housing Development, LLC. LGG previously worked with GC Housing Development on the closing of their first tax credit project, Anthony Place Yorkville.
Anthony Place at Prairie Centre is part of a larger 27-acre redevelopment (formerly St. Charles mall site) known as Prairie Center that was rezoned to accommodate a mix of for sale and luxury rental housing as well as neighborhood retail and restaurants in mixed-use buildings. Anthony Place is a new construction 4-story, multi-family residential building with 75 total units targeted to seniors 55 and older. The Housing Authority of Elgin awarded twenty five (25) Project Based Vouchers to assist seniors 62 and older. Adjacent to the Project within the master site plan will be the main portion of green space that the overall development will offer, including the detention pond with a gazebo that will be a nice water feature for the residents. There will also be walking paths circling the green space.
The project will bring much needed senior housing to St. Charles, IL an amenity-rich area with several amenities within a half-mile radius of the site. Randall Road near the site has every imaginable retail and service use needed by seniors. The site benefits from immediate access to the Pace 801 bus which stops 0.1 miles from the project and a full Jewel-Osco adjacent to the site that the seniors can easily walk to. With the contemplated development of the remainder of the campus, the vicinity will contain even more amenities.
Thank you to all those who were part of this development!
