The Village of Hoffman Estates continues to see steady growth in several areas including retail, industrial, hospitality and various types of infrastructure improvements. The continual efforts of village came to fruition in 2017 as a variety projects were completed. A priority for many years, the construction of the Barrington Road interchange on I-90 opened at the end of 2017 with the Pace Park-n-Ride expected to open in spring 2018. Also, after many years of searching and courting, an Ace Hardware opened again in Hoffman Estates. Additionally, TRUMPF Technology Center opened in September and continues the trend of advanced manufacturers finding a new home in Hoffman Estates along I-90.

One of the most significant projects to be completed in 2017 was the widening of I-90 and the opening of all four legs of the Barrington Road interchange. In 2013, the village partnered with the Illinois Tollway and Illinois Department of Transportation in improving the Barrington Road interchange on I-90 to provide full access (from east and west bound). Design began in 2014 with construction beginning in 2015 in conjunction with the rebuilding and widening of I-90. The village worked with Pace to incorporate a Park-n-Ride at the interchange. Tollway construction activity on the tollway interchange took place throughout 2017, with completion at the end of the year. Construction of the Park-n-Ride pedestrian bridge over I-90 was also completed in 2017, with Pace bus service set to begin in spring/summer 2018, ultimately connecting to the CTA Blue Line station in Rosemont in 23 minutes then to downtown Chicago.

Hoffman Estates celebrated the opening of many retailers to the community, some for the first time and some coming back after too much time away. For many years, residents requested the village bring a hardware store back to the community. In August 2017, Ace Hardware opened their doors in a long-vacant space at Golf and Higgins Roads. “The opening the new Ace Hardware fulfilled a long-standing goal. A local hardware store provides convenience and ease for our home owners,” said Hoffman Estates Mayor Bill McLeod. Additionally, Woodfield Acura unveiled their new facility while maintaining the existing site as a pre-owned dealership.

Redevelopment of commercial properties on the village’s east side continued at a rapid pace. The village negotiated both a redevelopment and a land sale agreement with the Sterling Organization to redevelop the Hoffman Plaza Shopping Center and sell village-owned land for adjacent development. Burlington then opened in the first phase of redevelopment at the center as co-anchor to the existing Jewel-Osco. The shopping center owner plans to complete Phase II in 2018-19.

In addition to retail, the TRUMPF Technology Center opened in September, adding 50 new high paying, high-tech jobs to the market while bringing the ancillary benefit to hotels and restaurants from their out-of-town customers. The Technology Center is primarily a demonstration lab and showroom for the high-tech metal cutting lasers used by advanced manufacturers today. Near the new TRUMPF facility the village has the opportunity, through a partnership with Cook County, for Phase I engineering to start for a new bicycle path on Central Road. The path will connect the new Pace Park-n-Ride on Central Road with the Paul Douglas Forest Preserve path system.

Residential development continued to surge and the village performed an increasing number of plan reviews and building inspections for subdivisions such as Bergman Estates, Devonshire Woods, Amber Meadows, Airdrie Estates and renovations at the Enclave Apartments. More than 250 single-family homes have been built or are under construction at those sites allowing new residents to move into Hoffman Estates.

The Village’s 2017 Street Revitalization project spent nearly $6 million in new and existing revenues. Eight streets were reconstructed and another 18 streets were resurfaced as part of this village-wide project. The village also contracted for street surface patching and crack sealing projects in 2017 which will help to extend the useful life of village streets.

In 2017, the Sears Centre achieved near record revenue by almost doubling event income and experiencing record ticket sales to nearly 153,000 customers with several events achieving sold-out status. The Chicago Bulls developmental league team (Windy City Bulls) completed their inaugural season in March 2017 and continued to enjoy increasing attendance as their second season got off to a successful start in November.

“This partnership has been a natural fit from the beginning. The village has been extremely pleased with the success of the team thus far and it appears Bulls representatives are equally impressed with the way our community and surrounding areas have embraced them and the Windy City Bulls franchise,” McLeod said.

Cirque du Soleil also returned to the Sears Centre in 2017, joining longstanding annual events such as Sesame Street Live, Monster Trucks, Professional Championship Bull riding and 17 graduation ceremonies. Music concerts, a sold-out IHSA Super Sectional basketball game, USA volleyball and gymnastics competitions, and community events filled out the calendar (104 total event days). The sixth annual Northwest Fourth Fest, the largest free Independence Day celebration in the northwest suburbs again attracted tens of thousands visitors over the multi-day event. Many of these events will be back again in 2018 along with other great attractions!

In addition to continued growth throughout the community, the village’s police, fire and health and human services departments continue to provide exceptional service to the community. “These departments work hard to ensure their teams are providing the best possible service to our residents,” McLeod said.

The village has grown its use of social media through broadcasting events on Facebook Live, and uses other tools like the Citizen newsletter, its website and other platforms to inform the community about exciting events and relevant programs and services.

“Keeping our residents and visitors, as well as our potential and existing business owners, up to date on Village business is vitally important,” McLeod said. “The village’s website will receive a much-needed makeover in the next several months; ultimately providing users with an enhanced, more efficient experience.”

Hoffman Estates enjoyed a litany of economic development successes during 2017, most notably, the attraction of an Ace Hardware store to the community, according to Kevin Kramer, Economic Development Director.

“Bringing a hardware store to the village has been a goal of the Village Board for several years. That was the number one request we got from residents. We had been working for seven years to bring a store back to town since Ace and Menards previously left the village,” he said.

Village staff appealed to Ace Hardware’s corporate headquarters by phone and in person at the International Council of Shopping Centers trade shows on a bi-annual basis. The village found a likely location in the old Tiger Direct space at Higgins and Golf Roads, but they needed to interest an owner since Ace is a franchise business.

Fortunately, the shopping center owner brought Mike Patel, who had been a manager at the Skokie Ace Hardware store for over 30 years and knew the business well, to the table. He convinced Patel to make the investment and in August the new Hoffman Estates Ace Hardware store opened in the Crossroads Plaza Shopping Center, alongside Sherwin-Williams, Hertz, India House and Bombay Chopsticks. It is Ace Hardware’s first Indian/American owned and operated store.

“In order to make this deal happen in Hoffman Estates, the village supported the property owner’s application to Cook County for a property tax reduction and negotiated a sales tax rebate with the store owner,” Kramer said.

The village also saw Woodfield Acura build a new showroom at the intersection of Golf and Gannon, on the site of the old Dover Straits restaurant. The new showroom opened in early 2017 and the former Woodfield Acura became their “pre-owned vehicle” showroom.

In December a Country Inn and Suites opened on the site of the former La Quinta Inn near the intersection of Higgins and Barrington Roads. The new owners made a major investment to totally renovate the hotel’s public areas and guest rooms, according to Kramer. “It is always good to see upgrades and large reinvestments in existing properties,” he said.

The Hoffman Plaza Shopping Center at Higgins and Roselle Roads completed the first phase of redevelopment and now features a brand new Burlington store that opened in October, replacing a Dania Furniture store and a nightclub. The shopping center owners are now working to redevelop their out-lot properties with several new fast food restaurants, retailers and service uses.

“Manufacturing is another big focus for us,” Kramer said. “We have approximately 1,000 acres with manufacturing zoning, available for development in Hoffman Estates, many of which would be a great fit for manufacturing.”

Kramer and his staff are specifically seeking out “lean and clean” advanced manufacturing facilities using computerized robotics to get the work done in a cleaner and less expensive way.

“More and more manufacturers are “re-shoring” manufacturing back to the United States in order to be closer to their customers. They want to display their machinery in a showpiece facility that also includes offices and a basic shop floor,” he said.

“For instance, the Trumpf 50,000 square-foot Technology Center opened here in September with warehouse facilities and a showroom that allows customers to see machines in action and interacting with other machinery,” Kramer added.

“This was a big win for us. They make metal-cutting laser machines and then both sell and service them from their new Hoffman Estates facility. Since the machinery is massive, they do that service by either sending out a technician or by looking at the remote machinery using augmented reality goggles,” he said.

“We expect there to be other companies looking to locate in Hoffman Estates on its enviable property with I-90 frontage that is close to O’Hare,” he added.

In fact, Kramer is heavily involved in finding an investor interested in redeveloping the massive AT&T facility, east of Barrington Road along I-90. There is a total of 1,600,000 square feet of available office space distributed between three buildings.

“It is a great opportunity for right developer with lots of creativity and capital and we believe that that person is out there, looking for a property to re-purpose or redevelop,” Kramer said. “Companies aren’t generally looking for such large corporate office headquarters facilities in the suburbs anymore, so this will take some focus and creativity and it may end up with multiple tenants and multiple uses.”

Hoffman Estates is assisted in its efforts to seek new businesses and manufacturers by two local programs.

First, there is the Golden Corridor Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (GCAMP) program which Hoffman Estates initiated to help local manufacturers attract qualified employees. They arrange open houses for area middle and high school students and parents to see advanced manufacturing in action and also sponsor student STEM competitions and trips to trade shows like the International Manufacturing Technology Show and FABTECH, North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event.

Harper Community College has worked with GCAMP, area manufacturing and High School Districts 211 and 214 to develop an advanced manufacturing program that now has approximately 350 enrolled, with potential for more than 1,000 students.

In addition, GCAMP collaborated on an innovative manufacturing internship program that has won both national and state recognition and has worked with local secondary schools and community colleges to support dual credit/advanced placement courses to steer students toward a STEM manufacturing career path.

Second, Hoffman Estates and four other local communities have teamed up to support a Business Accelerator program called Next Level Northwest, a charitable non-profit public-private partnership for the education and development of leaders associated with established Stage 2 businesses within the municipalities in the partnership.

“It is tough to attract new businesses so we have decided that we need to grow from within – from the businesses that are already established in our communities and have their roots here,” Kramer explained. “We are aiming this program at businesses within our communities that have been open for at least three years and are now primed for further growth. We want to help them get over the plateau that they may have hit and boost their sales further.”

Potential participants will be required to apply for a place in the program, then pitch their business and themselves to a community panel which determines if they are accepted. Those accepted will receive a designated coach who will assist them in devising a three-to-five-year growth plan with actionable steps in areas of need like marketing, time management, community culture, finances and so forth. The coach will then check-in and follow-up every six months to ensure benchmarks are being met.

In the second phase of the program, the head of each firm will be assigned a mentor who will help them build a stronger network of fellow businesspeople within the community.

“We expect the program to get underway in the summer or early fall of 2018 and hope to start out with one or two businesses at a time, per community,” he explained. “Eventually we hope to grow to the point that we are helping 20 businesses per community per year.”

Casual Eating Options

Hoffman Estates is awash in great places to eat. The parade of casual dining spots opening in the village continues, driven by the community’s enviable dense and diverse population along I-90.

Culver’s opened at 4635 Hoffman Blvd. across from the Marriott in late 2016, adjacent to a yet-to-open BP gas station. Culver’s offers its fresh, delicious menu on a daily basis.

A new Denny’s restaurant is now open at 4690 Hoffman Blvd. in the Poplar-Prairie Shopping Center next to the Buffalo Wild Wings. It will be the first Denny’s in this area to unveil the restaurant’s new architectural look.

Denny’s and Culver’s join a diverse group of quick serve/fast casual dining choices in Hoffman Estates including three McDonald’s (at 2270 W. Higgins Rd., 2580 W. Golf Rd. and 1070 Roselle Rd.), a Firehouse Subs (2510 Sutton Rd.), a Jersey Mike’s Subs (4610 Hoffman Blvd.) and the long-established White Castle (1100 W. Golf Rd.) near Hoffman Estates High School.

Additionally, as part of the Hoffman Plaza Shopping Center redevelopment at the intersection of Roselle and Higgins Roads, several restaurants are expected to locate in the proposed out-lot buildings in the next year.

In myriad different ways institutions and businesses in Hoffman Estates strive to keep everyone healthy, well and out of the hospital.

‘In sickness and in health’

AMITA Health is at the forefront of Hoffman Estates’ healthy revolution with its “In Sickness and In Health” motto. They are committed to providing the public with the best care when they are ill and with the best health information when they are well.

For instance, AMITA Health provides a very successful employee wellness program to local companies and municipalities that don’t have the expertise or manpower to implement one on their own, said Berenice M. Carlson, associate vice president of customer engagement – wellness for AMITA Health.

AMITA Health has also initiated the Healing Touch Clinic for cancer patients to stay as well as possible. The clinic uses an energy-based therapeutic approach restore balance and support the self-healing process. Using a light touch in a compassionate and intentional way, practitioners can help relieve anxiety, pain and stress and reduce the side effects of the treatments for cancer.

Screenings and other outreaches into the community are another part of AMITA Health’s wellness initiatives. Cholesterol and blood pressure screenings are often held at libraries and other public places within Hoffman Estates.

By far the organization’s most high-profile annual outreach to the community, however, is the AMITA Health Fitness for America event held each July. This huge event features a half-marathon, 10K and 5K runs, a nighttime fun run and two inline skating events – a half-marathon and a 7K skate.

AMITA Health uses this festival to demonstrate to the community that you don’t have to be a stellar athlete to get out there and enjoy and participate in active events.

Leading a well-balanced life

A relatively new business, the Wholesome Health Mart Pharmacy at 2069 Barrington Rd., is also making a contribution to the health of Hoffman Estates residents. It offers all the traditional tools found in a large pharmacy, as well as non-traditional ones like essential oils and targeted supplements (and make-up, creams and lotions that are as free of chemicals as possible, as well as gluten-free snacks).

“We feel that the more tools you have available to you, the better, if you want to live a well-balanced life,” said owner Matt Dhingra.

Wholesome Health Mart Pharmacy can customize medicines with flavorings for children and pets and can also mix special medicines and creams that have been prescribed by doctors but which are not commercially available.

“We give our customers the personal touch so we never rush people, we propose alternatives to high-priced medicines and we actually encourage questions,” Dhingra said. “In fact, we offer a free monthly seminar on a variety of topics and also offer free shipping to those who need it.”

“At Wholesome Health Mart Pharmacy we have chosen to integrate holistic and traditional medicines and make them more accessible to both physicians and their patients,” he added.

Encouraging healthy habits

The Hoffman Estates Park District is also “committed to ensuring access to leisure and health/wellness programming for everyone,” said Sandy Manisco, communications and marketing superintendent. “We have three membership-based fitness centers, but we have also initiated our free once-a-month, 90-minute “Hoffman Walks” program to help residents become familiar with the community’s 72 parks and to offer an entry-level fitness activity without any associated cost.”

“Our hope is that once an individual makes walking a habit, that this will lead them to more kinds of activity,” added Colleen Palmer, superintendent of recreation.

The district’s largest fitness center is its Prairie Stone Sports & Wellness Center. It is a multi-dimensional fitness center that offers its members the complete fitness experience as well as ancillary programs (some for an additional fee) like personal training, orthopedic rehabilitation, health coaching and nutrition seminars.

The health of Hoffman Estates children is also a concern with epidemic of childhood obesity in the United States. To address this issue, the District has initiated a childhood obesity initiative which offers health tips and programming to target this issue.

“Throughout the Park District over the last three years we have seen our patrons concentrating on their overall lifestyle instead of just on physical fitness. They are now interested in nutrition, stress management, physical fitness and achieving a better quality of life,” explained Katie Basile, Superintendent of Facilities for the Park District.

Making a mark on the health of hoffman estates

DuPage Medical Group (DMG), which came to Hoffman Estates last September by acquiring over the former Northwest Health Care Associates medical group at 2359 Hassel Rd. in Hoffman Estates and later, Westbrook Internal Medicine Group at 1555 N. Barrington Rd., is also making its mark on the health of Hoffman Estates.

DMG, the largest physician-owned and operated multi-specialty group in the Chicago area that can treat patients from head to toe, is now providing exceptional, accessible medical care to residents of Hoffman Estates and other nearby suburbs.

A range of health care services are available, including primary care consisting of family medicine and internal medicine, along with specialty care including cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology and pulmonary medicine. The Hassell Road location also features lab services, radiology testing and a state-of-the-art accredited endoscopy lab where colonoscopies and gastrointestinal endoscopies are performed.

Additional testing is available at nearby DMG office buildings in Bloomingdale, Glen Ellyn and Lisle. The Lisle location also includes DMG’s highly comprehensive integrated oncology program, which is the only accredited freestanding cancer center in Illinois.

The group’s comprehensive network of hundreds of independent physicians cover virtually every specialty from internal fetal medicine to spine surgery and well beyond. DMG physicians are easily able to confer among themselves, refer patients to one another and share medical records through an integrated medical record and the MyChart patient portal. And all accept the same insurance plans, making life easier for patients in today’s challenging medical environment.

“Our goal at DuPage Medical Group is to provide exceptional medical care to all patients in the communities we serve,” said Maria McGowan, vice president, marketing.

Making the most of retirement years

Finally, Brookdale Hoffman Estates at 1515 Barrington Rd., previously known as The Devonshire, can make every moment of retirement count. That’s because Brookdale provides everything seniors need to make the most of their retirement years. They have a fitness room with a fitness coach who puts together individual fitness plans for residents and they offer group classes daily. Hospitality and wellness are key components to living at Brookdale Hoffman Estates. With a number of planned activities and award-winning programs, there is always something enriching, informative or entertaining to do.

But the physical side of wellness is not all with which they concern themselves. Brookdale offers programs which help residents physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and intellectually and give them purpose in their lives. Brookdale offers programs which help residents live at their peak level and within a lifestyle that promotes health, wholeness and fulfillment.

Their chef-prepared food provided by dining services also plays a major part in the health of residents, offering fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meats and whole grains. Healthy meal options are delineated on every menu and residents in need of special diets are accommodated. Residents can enjoy delicious entrees all day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Brookdale Hoffman Estates’ exceptional blend of hospitality, service and care can give residents the freedom to live life as they choose and please.
