Can anyone tell me about the new Freedom Commons being built off I-88 and Naperville blvd. How is it being perceived and how is the construction shaping up. Thanks

I-88 and Naperville Road is the Central Park corporate area on the NE corner, on the SE corner is another smaller corporate center, on the SW corner is the on-ramp and a hotel, and the NW corner is Tellabs. I dont see where they could put this "Freedom Commons" area. Are you sure you have the right intersection?

I am sure it's in that area here is a news clip about the project:


The company said it has signed a lease to open a Morton's steakhouse in Freedom Commons, a 25-acre development under construction at the intersection of I-88 and Freedom Boulevard, in Naperville, the fourth largest city in Illinois, located 28 miles west of downtown Chicago.

Freedom Commons will feature several other restaurants, a 45,000 square foot LA Fitness center and 35,000 square feet of retail establishments, including Fidelity Investments. A new I-88 exit will provide direct access to the site.

It should be finished around the end of the year and I know construction has been going on for a little while now

I am the sales manager for one of the restaurants, Jason's Deli, opening in the Freedom Commons area. Construction seems to be going well and there will be a grand opening celebration for all of the new businesses in the Freedom Commons on August 28th. The celebration is going to be like a "Taste of The Freedom Commons". It seems that most of the businesses in the new complex will be open by late fall.
