Westgate at The Glen will be constructed on the final parcel of land to be developed at The Glen, a 1,100-acre community located on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station.

“Edward R. James Companies is thrilled to be back building at The Glen, having been a part of the initial development with our Southgate community, and now working on what is the final piece of this award-winning master-planned community,” said Jerry S. James, president at Edward R. James Companies. “We are very appreciative of the community input, the guidance from village staff and, of course, the support of the commissions and village trustees in selecting our team and approving our plan for Westgate. We feel the approved plan reflects a lot of collaboration and changes in response to community concerns and input.”
