I hope that you are finding Lombard Illinois to be more than you ever expected, just as I have in my over 30 years as a resident.

As your village president, I am proud to serve the residents of Lombard and the business community in a town that is like no other. From the thriving regional mall to an ever-growing downtown to several strip malls located throughout the village, business development and growth is present in Lombard. We are privileged to have a strong relationship with our business community and the Lombard Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as numerous other community partners. Together, we all contribute to the success that Lombard enjoys.

Our community partnerships are a strong part of providing additional visitors and shoppers to Lombard to help our business community thrive. Please patronize our businesses and thank them for being an important and vital part of our community.

Life in Lombard is well rounded with excellent options for education, an award-winning park district, active library, interactive historical museums and much, much more. These aspects of our community help us to realize that in Lombard, there’s no place like home.

Lombard’s proximity to the expressways makes travel for business or pleasure one more reason why Lombard is a great place to live or work. Raising a family in Lombard is now spanning generations with a variety of housing – both historic homes and new construction – that may be found in our community.

All around, the Lilac Village has much to offer its residents, businesses and visitors. I hope that like me, you will find that it’s much more than you ever expected.

Sincerely,

Keith Giagnorio
Lombard Village President

People, organizations and entities that are alive and vital are constantly changing. Remaining static and simply maintaining the status quo seldom works long-term.

The management team at Yorktown Center, a centerpiece of Lombard since it was constructed in 1968, works hard to stay ahead of the curve in terms of lifestyle and shopping trends.

Yorktown Center understands that there must be a constant process of reinvention and innovation in order to attract guests to its doors. The shopping center must not only be a place in which to buy goods, but must also be a destination for dining, entertainment, socialization, exploration, and now, to be healthy.

Fitness in many different forms is now a major endeavor for Yorktown Center, said Todd Hiepler, general manager.

In fact, the Center has assembled a new “self-care precinct” on the west side of the Center, located along Highland Avenue. The self-care precinct is composed of national fitness, health and beauty brands to make it a one-stop shop for 8.5 million annual visitors and local residents, said Emily Barack, Yorktown Center’s marketing coordinator.

The self-care precinct currently boasts five such businesses, including Orangetheory Fitness, a facility offering group personal training workouts based on high intensity interval training that blend cardiovascular and strength training; CycleBar, a premium indoor cycling studio; The Barre Code, a women’s fitness facility that focuses on increasing mobility and flexibility through stretching and full-body workouts; Amazing Lash Studio; and European Wax Center.

“Self-care is now one of the fastest-growing segments nationwide,” Barack said.

Yorktown Center has also recruited a large fitness firm – which is yet to be revealed – to open a 40,000-square-foot facility in the former Sports Authority space. The new concept is expected to open in fall 2018 and will have both interior and exterior access.

The new brick-and-mortar beauty and fitness offerings at Yorktown Center are also supplemented by the Center’s partnership with Humana. From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Thursday in center court, Humana ambassadors host cooking seminars in open-air classrooms, health screenings inside modular consultation rooms, fitness demonstrations and much more.

In partnership with Humana, Yorktown Center has also launched its Heart & Sole Walking Club, which encourages the public to utilize the shopping center as a place to get fit and make healthy choices. Heart & Sole members receive invitations to fitness events, as well as exclusive deals and discounts for Yorktown Center retailers, among other perks. On Mondays and Thursdays each week, members are invited to join a professional fitness instructor for guided walks through the Center.

The Center also plans to hold a “Taste for the Space” culinary competition on Saturday, June 16. Applicants will submit ideas and business plans, and competitors will be chosen based on a variety of special criteria. The top 15 applicants will be invited to compete at Taste for the Space, where they will offer bites of their cuisine to both the community and a panel of judges who will then vote on food favorites.

The contest winner will be offered a dining space at Yorktown Center, which they will receive rent-free for six months, and they’ll also be awarded a $50,000 investment prize for their new restaurant to be used for equipment and supplies.

“Our hope is that those who vote for the winner will be loyal patrons once they open their doors in Yorktown,” Hiepler said.

Taste for the Space will also feature games, special activities and live entertainment. In addition, a local nonprofit will be named the recipient of public donations to be collected that day.

Outside the walls of the shopping center – on 15 acres at the northern end of the Yorktown Center property – construction is underway on the first phase of two master-planned multi-family residential structures.

Greystar Development, a multi-family real estate construction and management firm, is currently building a residential area known as Yorktown Commons. The four-story Elan building will feature 295 apartments and the seven-story Overture senior living building will be home to 175 units. A sales office for the Yorktown Commons properties is currently open at The Shops at Yorktown for those who want to preview the offerings.

This summer Yorktown Center will be working on streetscape improvements that will better-connect the new residential buildings with the shopping center. Sidewalks, bike paths and crosswalks will be installed to help create a more well-rounded community atmosphere. The work is expected to be complete by early September.

Lombard sparkled economically during 2017 with over 2,600 building permits issued, amounting to over $233 million in value as residents and business owners invested in new and improved businesses and homes, said William Heniff, Lombard’s director of community development.

“It is the highest numbers we have seen in Lombard in over a decade,” he said, “thanks, in large part, to exciting investments by Mariano’s and by GrayStar, the developers of new apartments at Yorktown Shopping Center.”

The 70,000-square-foot Mariano’s opened to much acclaim in late August on the site of the former K-Mart store at Finley and Roosevelt Roads and construction has begun on two residential buildings at Yorktown Shopping Center. Occupancy in the four-story Elan building and the seven-story Overture building is expected in late 2018 or early 2019, Heniff said.

Elsewhere in town, the Lombard Healthmart Pharmacy is planning to relocate from their long-time location at 805 S. Main St. to the site of the former Carlson Paint Glass and Art Store and Steve Wilk Insurance in the 200 block of South Main Street. The former art store was demolished and construction of a new expanded pharmacy with a drive-thru is underway. They expect to open the new store this summer, Heniff noted.

Just north of the new pharmacy at 101-109 S. Main St., the village has issued a request for proposals on the old DuPage Theater site. They are seeking viable development proposals for that prominent downtown location.

A new 35,000-square-foot prototype LA Fitness health club is also being constructed on the east side of the High Point Shopping Center on the former site of the Old Country Buffet. It is scheduled to open in 2019.

A new 96-room Holiday Inn Express hotel has been approved and construction will start this year on a vacant site along St. Regis Drive behind the Greek Islands Restaurant. It will be the village’s 10th hotel, Heniff said.

Other newly-constructed restaurants that will open in 2018 include Yard House at Fountain Square of Lombard and Anthony’s Coal-Fired Pizza.

Unfortunately, plans for a new Sam’s Club along Butterfield Road have been scrapped, thanks to recent news from the massive national wholesale club that involved scores of closings. Heniff said that the property owner will be working to attract an alternate development.

Yorktown Shopping Center is remaining innovative and competitive in the face of a changing retail environment, he added. They are increasingly attracting and marketing fitness, health and beauty-related businesses which are effectively attracting visitors to the entire center, including the retailers.

A 27-acre parcel along Butterfield Road is currently on the market because the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary relocated to Lisle. A broker team is currently working to market the large parcel, Heniff said. Recognizing the potential need to address substandard infrastructure in the area and on the seminary property, the village quickly stepped in to designate a tax increment financing district for that parcel and the northern part of the nearby Yorktown Center.

“We wanted to have a tool in place so that we could effectively position that property for the future,” he said.

While that educational facility has moved, after 26 years in Lombard, the College Preparatory School of America is sinking its roots ever deeper. Last May the preschool to 12th-grade educational facility broke ground on a $7 million expansion that will increase the capacity of the academically challenging school in the Islamic tradition.

An expansion and modernization of the school at 331 W. Madison St., housed in a former public school that was built in three phases beginning in the 1930s, has long been sought. The new 33,000-square-foot building will serve high school students, allowing preschoolers through eighth-graders to spread out within the existing space. The new facility will increase the campus’ capacity to more than 600 students. It currently has 434.

Highlights of the future high school include a full-size gymnasium with bleachers and locker rooms, new science labs with updated technology and additional classrooms.

Further residential development is also taking place. The former Allied Drywall Material Supply facility on East Windsor Avenue near the Lombard Post Office has been purchased by Emerald Homes, a subsidiary of D.R. Horton Homes. They are presently building 12 new homes, starting from the high $400,000s.

In addition, Airhart Construction continues to construct single family homes in a similar price range at Park Place in downtown Lombard and there continues to be scattered site in-fill residential construction as lots become available.

“The economy is good right now and Lombard is feeling the positive effects,” Heniff said.
