The Village Board of Orland Park has chosen Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate as its development consultant for the Main Street Triangle redevelopment project. The Village will work with HSA to design and construct a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented development including upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment attractions that will create a dynamic, urban atmosphere. In its role as a development consultant, HSA will be responsible for designing an overall mixed-use merchandise plan, attracting a unique retail tenant mix and completing leases with prospective tenants.
The “Main Street Triangle District”, which is owned by the Village of Orland Park, is a 32-acre parcel bounded generally by La Grange Road on the east, 143rd Street on the south and the Metra Southwest Line on the west. Flaherty and Collins, an Indianapolis-based multifamily developer, recently broke ground on a 295-unit luxury apartment complex on the southern portion of the site, which is scheduled for completion in spring 2013.
