SHOREWOOD, IL – The Village of Shorewood Board of Trustees recently approved a residential development with national homebuilder Lennar, providing new single-family housing opportunities for the community.

Lennar’s Towne Center II will be between the existing Towne Center and Fox Bend neighborhoods. Construction for Towne Center II is expected to begin in the summer.

“Towne Center II will be a great addition to Shorewood, and the Village is proud to welcome yet another quality neighborhood for future residents to call home,” said Mayor Clarence “CC” DeBold. “We are excited for Lennar to kick off this new residential development and join us in supporting our growing community."

Towne Center II has six single-family models, including two ranch and four two-story models, on 139 lots. Three unique architectural designs are available for each model.

House sizes range from 1,866 to 2,907 square feet, featuring at least three bedrooms and two full bathrooms per model. Base prices range from $443,000 to $525,000.

Lennar will build a large pond at the south end of the development that will mirror the pond at the Towne Center.

A multi-use bike path will line the pond, connecting to Village Hall and Towne Center Park on the west and to the bridge at Jefferson Street and River Road on the east.

The new path will tie into the larger network of village multiuse paths, providing pedestrians and cyclists from the wider community access to the Towne Center, the Village of Shorewood YMCA, Cene’s Four Seasons Park and other village neighborhoods.

“Improving path connections throughout the Village has been a top priority for residents, and we are thrilled Lennar’s Towne Center II will help address this need,” said Natalie Engel, the Village of Shorewood Director of Economic Development. “Now, more residents will have the opportunity to walk or bike to the many Village events throughout the year, which will greatly benefit Shorewood.”

Lennar is a nationally recognized homebuilder dedicated to creating communities that cater to all lifestyles and family dynamics.

Lennar is planning Auburn Chase, another residential development across the tracks South of Seil Road and West of Cene’s Four Seasons Park in Shorewood.

Updates on the residential projects will be available on the Village website at www.shorewoodil.gov.
