Midtown Square offers a new luxury, transit-oriented product at a prominent downtown Glenview, Illinois intersection. Developed in response to competing shopping districts in the area, officials saw the mixed-use site as a catalyst for the rejuvenation of their aging downtown.

When it began, the development was the largest undertaken in the community in a decade and came just as the Village adopted a new form-based code. Because of this, a significant effort was required to guide the project through separate Plan Commission, Appearance Commission, and Village Board approvals and to evolve the design to reflect feedback and new code guidelines.

Located near commuter rail, walkability, and pedestrian safety are key design factors while balancing the suburban desire for auto transport for shopping and entertainment travel. Pedestrian pathways are managed through landscaped paths and raised speed tables. The project offers streetside parking for retail and a surface lot on the site's interior for shoppers, residents, and guests. The building also contains secure indoor parking exclusively for residents. One of the three retail spaces also includes a drive-through, accessed from a drive aisle inside the site.

The luxurious residential component delivers one- and two-bedroom apartments. It features a competitive suite of amenities, including a club room, fitness center, and secured bike storage, as well as office space for on-site management.
