For current status, most or all of the removal is complete - I think there's one empty building that I'm not sure about the plans for. Counterclockwise from the northwest the credit union is long gone (now "Andigo" and on Meacham) though I think the building is still there, there are some nice looking (and pricey!) apartments along the west side, then there's Top Golf at the southwest corner (which has been in operation for quite some time - pretty sure they were open before the pandemic). South center of the property along the expressway is the area still owned and occupied by a Motorola company. There's Zurich America at the southeast corner, which was the first new construction on the campus several years ago, and another new building ("B") just north and a little west of it that appears finished but I'm not sure it's actually occupied yet - I rarely drive by there during business hours. The east and northeast parts aren't really developed yet, but they're doing a lot of work on the roads around there (Algonquin and Meacham). There's an area of (I think) condos still under construction on the north side along Algonquin, the westernmost buildings are already occupied and they're working east at a pretty decent clip. In the center of the complex is the "B" building mentioned above, as well as the remaining unoccupied old Motorola property. There's also other construction in the area - one new apartment complex on Algonquin a bit west that's been there for a couple years, IIRC built on vacant land. The single-story office complex directly northwest of the campus was partially removed and is under construction for a new set of luxury apartments or condos, the western half of that complex is also for sale and I wouldn't be surprised to see it torn down and built on soon as well. My biggest disappointment about the whole thing is that once upon a time there was possibly going to be something called the STAR line, basically a commuter rail line built in the center of 90 running from O'Hare out to Elgin then south. I had dreams of them turning part of the Moto campus into a station and parking for that - would have been great for Schaumburg a decade or two back by providing easy access to the core of Schaumburg's shopping areas when malls were still highly relevant. |
