After months of informally calling its new shopping and retail redevelopment project the Elk Grove Town Center, the Village Board has decided to make the name official.
The village is demolishing the former Grove Shopping Mall at the southwest corner of Arlington Heights and Biesterfield Roads.
In its place will be a $20 million shopping center with 140,000 square feet of retail stores and restaurants anchored by a Dominick’s Finer Foods and enhanced by a park-like setting with a fountain. The developer, Hamilton Partners Ltd., needed to pin down a name for the center to move forward with printing marketing materials to solicit other tenants.
The Elk Grove Town Center name seemed to fit the bill. “It identifies it as being what it is and a downtown of Elk Grove that we never had,” said Trustee Paul Rettberg. Construction is expected to begin by July 1.
