Cantera Office Condominiums

two, two-story, office condominium buildings totaling approximately 138,460 square feet on approximately 9-acre site, located on the northwest corner of Mill Street and Bella Vista Parkway, south of Ferry Road (4100-4200 Cantera Drive)
Civic Center Redevelopment Site #1
Civic Center Redevelopment Site #1 (CCRS #1) is a key City-owned property located in the Civic Center Core of the City (at the southeast corner of Rockwell Street and Stafford Place). The site consists of approximately 3.7 acres, has been identified by the community as a very high priority revitalization project, and is located within both the Old Town/Civic Center Subarea and one of the City's Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. The City’s Old Town/Civic Center Subarea Plan calls for this industrially zoned, former industrial warehouse property, to be redeveloped into a pedestrian friendly, high quality, residential project that includes attached townhomes/rowhomes, a small number of single-family detached homes, and permeable pavement streets and alleys (click here for concept site plan).
In 2008, the City, with assistance from the consulting firm of S. B. Friedman & Company (SBFCo), developed and distributed a detailed Request for Developer Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/P) as part of its effort to identify a qualified private development team to partner with on the redevelopment of the property. In the Fall of 2008, based on input received from SBFCo and various private development firms, the City’s review/discussion of the two proposals it received, the then current condition of the residential real estate and development financing markets, the City Council determined the City would not attempt to proceed with the redevelopment of CCRS #1 at that time.
The City Council subsequently directed City staff to work with V3 Companies (V3) to complete the remaining clean-up and environmental contamination remediation activities and obtain a comprehensive No Further Remediation (NFR) letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for the site. The City and V3 are currently working with the IEPA Office of Brownfield’s Assistance to secure (i) a Municipal Brownfield’s Redevelopment Grant to fund the additional site investigation activities and follow-up reporting the IEPA has requested and (ii) a no interest Brownfield’s Revolving Loan that will be used to fund the environmental remediation activities the IEPA determines must be performed on CCRS #1. The City is committed to cleaning up the site so that it supports future residential development.
At this time, the City anticipates it will implement the remaining site clean-up and environmental contamination remediation activities in the second half of 2012. Please contact Community Development Director Ronald Mentzer at (630) 393-9050 with any questions or concerns related to CCRS #1.

Potential 2012 Forest Preserve District IGA
In December 2011, the President of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County (FPD), Dewey Pierotti, Jr., sent Mayor Brummel a letter requesting City staff be authorized to work with Forest Preserve District staff to discuss the preparation of a potential intergovernmental agreement (IGA) that would outline how the City and FPD could coordinate on the design, funding, and implementation of various potential public improvement projects of joint interest to the City and FPD. These projects include the potential extension of City water service to the FPD’s Mack Road Maintenance Complex (including the proposed new Fleet Maintenance Facility), the construction of DuPage River flood conveyance and flood protection levee improvements in the River Road corridor, and the potential construction of various trail improvements on FPD property in the City of Warrenville.
On Monday, January, 9, 2012, the Community Development Committee of the Whole recommended the City Council authorize staff to work with FPD staff on a draft IGA that would address these issues. On Monday, January 16, 2012, the City Council accepted the Community Development Committee recommendation and authorized staff to work with Forest Preserve District of DuPage County (FPDDC) staff to develop a draft intergovernmental agreement to outline how the City and FPDDC would coordinate on: (i) the extension of City water to the Mack Road Maintenance Complex; (ii) the implementation of the DuPage County’s proposed River Road flood conveyance and protection improvements; and, (iii) various potential trail improvements on FPDDC property located within the City limits.
Once City staff completes its initial meeting with FPD staff on this assignment, a tentative “next step” timeline will be posted on this page to identify when and at what meetings the City Council is likely to discuss this issue.
Questions regarding the scope or status of this issue should be directed to Community Development Director Ronald Mentzer at (630) 393-9050.
