Village Board approval has been granted for the mixed-use development at 739 Green Bay Road in Wilmette. Dubbed Optima Lumina, the new structure will replace a series of one-story buildings adjacent to Optima’s other development Verdana next door. Designed in house, the project comes as Verdana is fully leased with a long wait list.
Optima, Inc. has completed the Optima Verdana rental complex in downtown Wilmette. The property, which opened its leasing office this past May, has achieved a 72% occupancy rate. Designed by David Hovey Sr. and David Hovey Jr., the new building offers 100 units, comprising one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, as well as penthouses. These units vary in size from 660 to 2,790 square feet, with monthly rents ranging between $3,000 and $12,000.
YIMBY recently had the opportunity to tour Optima Verdana, a new six-story mixed-use building located at 1210 Central Avenue in Wilmette, IL. A project by Optima, Inc., the development comprises 100 rental apartment units and more than 8,000 square feet of commercial space.
