Banner Real Estate Group's Landmark Project Enhances Wheaton's Urban Landscape
Banner Real Estate Group recently celebrates the successful closing of The Faywell, a transformative multifamily development situated at 220 W. Liberty Drive in downtown Wheaton, Illinois. Nestled adjacent to the Metra Union Pacific West station, which provides direct access to Chicago, The Faywell represents a significant investment in high-quality residential living within the community. This ambitious project, nearly five years in the making, features 334 Class A multifamily units designed to cater to modern urban lifestyles while fostering a sense of community among residents.
The Faywell is not just about residential spaces; it aims to integrate seamlessly into the local environment with a suite of amenities that enhance the quality of life for its future inhabitants. Planned features include a resort-style swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a coworking lounge, along with ample bike parking to encourage eco-friendly transportation. Residents will also benefit from direct access to the DuPage County Prairie Path, promoting outdoor activities and community engagement. The ground-floor retail space will welcome back the beloved Egg Harbor Café, a local favorite that will return to its original location, further enriching the neighborhood's dining scene.
CEO Bob Flannery underscores the project's importance, stating that The Faywell not only bolsters the firm’s portfolio but also significantly contributes to the vibrancy and overall quality of life in Wheaton. The project is a collaboration among several key partners, including PNC Bank, JLL, W.A. Randolph, Inc., BKV Group, and CAGE Engineering, Inc. As construction progresses, the first move-ins are anticipated for Fall 2026, marking a new chapter in Wheaton's urban development.
In addition to enhancing residential options, The Faywell exemplifies the growing trend of mixed-use developments that cater to diverse community needs. As urban areas evolve, projects like these play a critical role in creating cohesive environments where residents can live, work, and thrive. The emphasis on integrating amenities like coworking spaces and local dining options reflects a broader shift toward community-centric urban planning.
As Banner Real Estate Group forges ahead with The Faywell, it positions itself as a key player in Chicago's multifamily development sector. The project aligns with the firm’s long-standing commitment to capital preservation and value creation, ensuring that it not only meets current housing demands but also contributes to the long-term sustainability of Wheaton's urban landscape.
