WHY IT WORKED: Tapping demand for new construction in an established Northwest Chicago neighborhood poised for growth, Kilbourn Court provides families and couples with modern amenities, close proximity to commuter routes and downtown, and more square footage at a better price than the existing homes in the area.

As the only new townhouse community in the area, the project establishes an exclusive niche and creates a distinctive difference from existing detached homes.

The land plan minimizes the project’s footprint and impact on existing infrastructure, enables views from the three-story units to green space or down a tree-lined street, and features an on-site park and dog run.

The project leverages numerous recreational amenities from a city park one block away.

Best-seller Plan C, at 2,122 square feet, provides a spacious deck for outdoor entertaining and allows for an optional third bedroom and/or third bath.
