Village Approves Proposal for World Class Westmont Development

The village of Westmont approved a proposal to build a planned development unit project at the Hilton Oak Brook Hills Resort property, located at 3500 Midwest Road.

The village board trustees voted in favor of the project at a special board meeting on Sept. 8 after several months of discussions and meetings despite resident opposition, according to the Bugle.

The Harp Group plans to construct a multifamily apartment building on the 18-acre property that includes one and two bedroom apartments, a 65,000-square-foot natatorium, a six-story apartment building and 1,781 parking spots on-site.

The Bugle reports:

The property, which would be named World Class Westmont, will feature both one- and two-bedroom apartments. Planned amenities include luxury finishes, a fitness center, shuttle bus for residents, car washing station within parking structure, an outdoor pool with cabanas and a fire pit, and a three-quarter-mile walking path.
MaryAnn Kaufman, of FMC Aquatic Opportunities, spoke to the board about the natatorium, which she said will be designed as one of the fastest competition pools in the country for both 50-meter (Olympic pool) and 25-yard course events.
“We are delighted by the opportunity to bring the natatorium to the village of Westmont,” Kaufman said. “We look forward to working with the Westmont Park District, along with with the schools in the community, and with the wonderful people here who showed such heartwarming support for our idea.”
