The city of Naperville is moving forward on a plan to sell a portion of the municipal-owned land on the southeast corner of Route 59 and 103rd Street for a residential development called Tower Court Residences, designed to serve seniors and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The city council on Tuesday, April 15, voted unanimously in favor of selling a 4.68-acre parcel within the South 40 property to an affiliate of housing developer Gorman and Co.
In the 1980s, Naperville officials purchased a 40-acre site within, and beyond, the property. Over time, portions of the site have been used for various municipal purposes, such as the construction of Fire Station No. 6 and various water utilities. Additional pieces have been sold off, including a 12.55-acre parcel for a Life Time fitness facility.
