Having recently approved a $95 million office and hotel development at Meacham Road and McConnor Parkway, the Schaumburg Zoning Board of Appeals on Wednesday night gave preliminary approval to yet another major office project.
The developer of the latest project, Chicago-based Hines Interests Ltd. Partnership, proposed two six-story office buildings and two five-level parking garages for 29 acres on the northwest corner of Schaumburg and Martingale Roads.
“I think it’s really nice,” zoning board member Carol Hall said of the plans.
The project would be visible from Interstate Highway 290 and would create a “premier architectural statement,” said Greg VanSchaack, vice president of Hines.
The owner of the property, Frederickson Real Estate Improvement Co., Norridge, is in talks with Marriott Corp. to sell 4 acres to the hotel chain, Hines officials said.
