Community & Economic Development Department, 11 W. Home Avenue, Villa Park, IL 60181
TO: Economic Development Commission
FROM: Community & Economic Development Department
DATE: January 15, 2025
RE: 100 S Villa Ave / TIF Incentive Redevelopment Agreement (RDA)
Applicant: Marquette Real Estate Investments, LLC
135 Water Street, 4TH Floor
Naperville, IL 60540
Request Summary:
The Applicant is requesting a General Obligation (GO) Bonds - Alternate Revenue Source in the sum, not to exceed,
$13,000,000 which will be used to pay or reimburse the Developer for certain TIF Eligible Redevelopment Costs incurred
and/or paid by the Developer, for the project to be located at 100 S Villa Ave, also known as, The Union.
Project Summary:
The Subject Property is currently Village owned, vacant, and the former site of a landscaper, dog groomer, and
apparel emborder. The proposed development is a mixed-use complex with approximately 238 apartments, not less
than 7,000 sqft of commercial space fronting Villa Ave, and a two-story parking deck that will include 406 total
parking spaces, of which 94 spaces are allocated for public parking on the first floor. The proposed project will cost
approximately $83,000,000.
Deal Terms:
• The RDA is structured as such that upon approval of zoning and subdivision, the Village Board will authorize the
approval of Bond sale.
• Upon authorizing the Bond sale, the developer will formalize financing and prepare a closing statement.
• The Bond sale and closing on financing will happen as near as simultaneously as possible, but there could be a
week of flexibility.
• Development will commence 30 days after closing.
Internal Staff Review
Staff has been working with the Developer for some time on crafting an equally beneficial RDA as it pertains to the
sale of GO bonds. The financial implications of this particular project are as such:
Projected Annual Net Incremental Property Taxes:
2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030
$0 $0 $0 $535,370 $1,368,495 $1,396,180
2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 2036
$1,424,310 $1,452,885 $1,481,907 $1,511,377 $1,541,294 $1,571,659
2037 2038 2039 2040 2041 2042
$1,602,471 $1,633,728 $1,665,428 $1,697,570 $1,730,149 $1,763,163
2043 2044 2045 2046 2047 2048
$1,796,605 $1,830,472 $1,864,756 $1,899,451 $1,934,549 $1,970,039
Total Increment = $33,671,859
Page 4 of 16
Bond Payment:
Bond Total (including fees): $14,875,000
Bond Interest Rate (estimate): 3.75%
Bond Term: 20 years
Bond Interest: $7,554,601
Bond Total P&I: $22,429,601
TIF Benefit:
Total Increment $33,671,859 – Bond Total P&I $22,429,601 = TIF NET $11,242,258
Years 2045 thru 2048 will have no bond payment totaling $7,668,795.
Per the agreements with D88 and D45, the TIF is supposed to pay off the bond as soon as it can with extra annual
increment. In this event, potentially years 2040 thru 2043 will also have no bond payment requirement, adding an
additional $6,987,487 to the $7,668,795 for a total of $14,656,282 of TIF NET.
Staff Recommendation:
Village staff has reviewed the agreement and is supportive of the request as structured.
Recommended Action:
To recommend approval of a Redevelopment Agreement with Marquette Real Estate Investments, LLC to incentivize the
development of 100 S Villa Ave for The Union project.
