Mike Crandall, Addison's director of community development, described a busy 2025 for housing and commercial projects, ranging from senior housing to retail expansions.

Crandall said Addison Horizon, a 62-unit independent senior living facility at 500 North Denise Court behind Green Meadows Shopping Center, was completed this year after a village-board approval in 2021; he estimated the project cost at $17.5 million and said a certificate of occupancy was issued. Crandall also reviewed single-family projects: the Highland Subdivision (60 lots developed by Pulte Home Group) with homes selling in the $600,000'$800,000 range, and the Enclave at Mill Creek (87 lots on the former Addison Golf Course) with occupancy across both phases.

Woodland Estates, a ranch-style townhome development expanded to 19 units, is complete and occupied with units selling in the mid-to-upper $400,000s, Crandall said. He highlighted the Towns at Mill Creek (phase 3), a 60-unit hybrid townhome condominium with nine of 11 buildings permitted and about 40 units under construction.

On commercial investment, Crandall said Razzney Jewelers received approvals to build an addition and redesign its site after purchasing roughly 1 acre of adjacent Marcus Theater property; he said the owner is investing more than $5.5 million with work under way and anticipated completion in 2026. Crandall also noted the Calvary United Pentecostal Church annexation and planned 14,000-square-foot addition with seating for 369, with permits issued and construction expected to finish in 2026.

Mayor Hundley and Crandall connected these projects to housing retention goals for long-time residents, workforce housing pathways and village assistance programs such as façade improvement grants and permit support. Crandall emphasized that some projects used a mix of federal, state and local funding to achieve affordability for seniors.
