I’ve heard it said that rain is a sign of good luck, and a little drizzle graced us all at this morning’s #groundbreaking of the Downtown Orland Park development.

Another #ChicagoSouthland village enhancing its parks and downtowns is a wonderful thing to see.

Coined the Main Street Triangle, the 27-acre block at the intersection of 143rd Street and La Grange Road will have its park and farmers market expanded. With summer concerts, winter ice skating, and a pedestrian walkway overlooking the pond on the north side of the property, to come as well.

It will encompass more than 140,000 square feet, including 37,000 square feet of mixed office space, 84,000 square feet of retail, and 26,000 square feet of entertainment space, according to Edwards officials. There will also be an entertainment district filled with bars, restaurants, and live music. Along with fitness, daycre, and retail businesses slated.

President of Edwards Realty, Ramzi Hassan, metioned in his speech at the groundbreaking, that completion is estimated to be Fall 2027. The $120 million dollar project is being self-described as the most innovative development in decades for our region.
