From The Telegraph: Village trustees this week unanimously approved items related to Orchard Town Center, the village’s 54-acre planned retail area.
Tim Lowe, vice president of leasing and development with the Staenberg Group (formerly THF Realty) said the site was tough to develop because of price, traffic and mine subsidence.
“We’ve been looking in the Glen Carbon market for a long time,” he said. “We’ve had this site (the Foucek property) under consideration for a few years.
”This is really the last remaining retail site within the retail node within Edwardsville and Glen Carbon,” he said. “It’s currently undeveloped and we were fortunate enough to put it under contract in June.”
Lowe said there are three main parts to the project.
The initial site plan, which may be adjusted as the process continues, depicts a 209,000-square-foot store with an adjacent warehouse of almost 49,000-square-feet. While not disclosing the name, Lowe described the store as a “national large anchor hardware store” in the St. Louis region but not within 10 miles of Edwardsville-Glen Carbon.
