OAK PARK, Ill., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LMC, a leader
in apartment development and management, along with its partner,
Clark Street Real Estate, today announced several milestones in the
development of The Emerson, a luxury mixed-use apartment community
designed to enhance the modern, pedestrian-friendly lifestyle in
Oak Park, Ill.
The Emerson, which consists of 270 apartment homes within a
five-story mid-rise and a 20-story high-rise, will help
reinvigorate the walkability of the Oak
Park neighborhood for residents and visitors with the grand
opening of several new retailers, including Target, The Groomery by
Petsmart, Wheel & Sprocket and Firecakes Donuts.
"We are excited to welcome these retailers, whose presence will
undoubtedly be a critical part of providing a truly new urban
living experience for our residents," said Doug Bober, divisional president of the Central
and Midwest regions for LMC. "With these additions, this edgy,
culturally adept Oak Park
neighborhood will offer walkable living at its best to current and
future residents for years to come."
The Emerson's leasing office, located on the second floor of the
high-rise in the residential building, is set to open on
Oct. 22. This will coincide with the
grand opening of Target. Target will anchor The Emerson's 25,000
square feet of retail and will include an in-store Starbucks and
CVS Pharmacy. Following closely will be the Groomery by Petsmart,
opening on Oct. 23 offering grooming,
self-service spa stations and pet-related merchandise.
Firecakes Donuts, which has popular nearby locations in
River North and Lincoln Park, is aiming to open in late
November. In addition to donuts, Firecakes will offer its brand of
homemade ice cream and serve cold and hot beverages. The future
site of the donut shop faces the L-Station, Metra commuter line and
Pace bus stop, allowing residents to grab breakfast before taking
the 15-minute ride into Downtown
Chicago.
Lastly, Wheel and Sprocket, one of America's leading bicycle
shops, is now open at 1118 Westgate. Wheel and Sprocket
offers a full line of bikes and accessories from the bike
enthusiast to cruisers.
Situated at 1135 Westgate Street, The Emerson's buildings are
connected via a pedestrian bridge over Westgate Street with a new public parking garage
at the base of the high-rise. The community is also adjacent to
Lake Street and Marion retail corridor and within walking distance
of a Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, Walgreens, Lake Street
Theater and several other local and national dining, entertainment
and shopping destinations. Interstate 290 is within two miles of
the community, offering access to the key attractions and
employment centers in the city and its sprawling suburbs.
The Emerson consists of studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartments and
features a premier community amenities package. Included are a
state-of-the-art fitness center and spacious multi-sport training
studio, heated outdoor swimming pool, private cabanas with
resort-quality outdoor furniture, high-end outdoor grills, a
landscaped outdoor deck with city views and a business center with
private offices. Residents also will have access to package
concierge and a dry-cleaning locker system.
Apartment interiors are equipped with quartz countertops,
stainless steel appliances, glass tile backsplashes, tile shower
surrounds with frameless glass doors, in-unit washers and dryers,
luxury vinyl-plank flooring and European-style custom cabinetry
with under-cabinet lighting in select units.
