Clover Development proposes 122‑unit senior independent living at Romeo Crossing
Summary
Clover Development presented concept plans for a three‑story, 122‑unit active‑adult (55+) community on a vacant 6‑acre site at Romeo Crossing; the plan requires rezoning and is expected to return as a final development plan this winter with construction targeted for next summer or fall.
Clover Development presented a concept plan on Dec. 3 for a 3‑story, 122‑unit market‑rate senior independent living community to be located on a vacant 6‑acre lot south of Scene 75 in the Romeo Crossing shopping center.
A village planner (Mr. Prader) told trustees the project is designed for active adults 55 and older and would have a unit mix that includes two‑bedroom and one‑bedroom apartments with unit sizes from about 600 to 1,000 square feet. The single building would include an elevator, interior corridors, amenity space (exercise facility and community room with library) and 150 parking spaces (110 surface, 40 garage), plus accessory buildings and perimeter landscaping.
The site is currently zoned B3 and will require rezoning to residential; the applicant said it has secured Walmart’s consent for residential use in the Romeo Crossing area and that Planning and Zoning and the development review committee provided comments after their Nov. 25 review. The applicant said it expects to file a final development plan this winter and anticipate construction starting in summer or fall, with a late‑summer/early‑fall completion target.
Why it matters: The proposal would convert a remaining retail parcel into active‑adult housing and adds to village efforts to diversify housing stock and support adjacent retail through increased local residency.
Next steps: The board and applicant said they will return with a final development plan and zoning changes for formal action later in the winter or spring.
