The company has projects under way in St. Louis and Albuquerque. This fall, Davis Street Land Co. breaks ground on Main Place at Orland Park, near the Metra station. The retail space at Main Place is 50 percent leased. The 66-acre project will include an open green area where concerts and community activities can be held. That's essentially what has been created at Renaissance Place in Highland Park.
Stores face the street front.
None of the buildings is big or imposing. It's nice to stroll from store to store, or just window-shop. But Renaissance Place didn't get built without its share of controversy. Former Mayor Ray Geraci says he lost re-election because he backed the project. Local citizens were wary of new development that would bring more people, and parking problems.
