Glenview, Ill.-based Edward R. James Companies, an award-winning homebuilder with a 60-year history of delivering exceptional communities in Chicago’s North Shore, has announced the grand opening of a decorated model at Anets Woods, a maintenance-free community of 32 single-family homes in Northbrook, Ill. First deliveries at the community are expected in early 2018.
It’s exciting to see the landscape transformed from humble lot markers to finished homes that families will make memories in. We’re 1/3 sold at Anets Woods. Here’s a sneak peak at 5 other homes under construction.
The retention pond is one of the key elements in the Anets Woods landscape plan. Workers have been busy planting hundreds of shrubs and native perennials so that can become established before Winter dormancy takes hold. The fall color from the Autumn Blaze maples are also beautiful this time of year.
Edward R. James Companies announces builder closeouts at Westgate at The Glen in Glenview. The community, which is 95 percent sold out and has been one of Chicago’s fastest-selling suburban developments, is a 171-unit maintenance-free community of 38 cluster single-family homes, 63 mews townhomes and 70 rowhomes.
When Teris Pantazes and his wife Kate had their first child, they did exactly the opposite of what many couples in their situation want do: rather than move into a larger home, they bought a smaller one.
Since the housing industry has recovered, with inventory even tight in markets nationwide, many builders and developers are constructing multifamily buildings, single-family houses and townhomes from the ground up with open-shared living spaces.
Edward R. James Companies is proud to announce the closeout of another successful community—Brighton Mews, our 29-unit luxury townhome development in the heart of Park Ridge, Ill. Key to the community’s fast sales pace—it sold out in less than two years—was the rare opportunity to buy new construction in this sought-after, inner-ring suburb just steps from the community’s bustling downtown.
In early 2017, Northbrook residents Bob and Christa Bolts were just starting to think a move to a maintenance-free community designed for empty nesters might be in their future in the next 10 years. Both in their 50s, the couple was in no hurry to leave their current home and neighborhood. But that quickly changed when they heard about Anets Woods, a new-construction community of 32 luxury single-family homes not far from their current residence.
From Jimmy Buffet-themed communities to slightly more mainstream age-restricted enclaves, active adult communities today take many forms. That’s in part because the housing wish lists of those who live there are so varied.
Slowly but surely, new technologies like drones, virtual reality, 3-D laser scanning and 3-D printing are bound to make their way into the homebuilding process.
