The Moorings of Arlington Heights Receives Final Approval for Expansion Project

Exciting developments are underway at The Moorings of Arlington Heights, a Presbyterian Homes community. After receiving the final go-ahead from the Village of Arlington Heights, The Moorings is set to embark on an ambitious expansion project. This new initiative, designed to meet the growing demand for more Independent Living residences, also includes significant updates to common spaces and amenities, promising an enhanced living experience for residents.

A Community with Vision

The planned expansion comes in response to increased market demand for more Independent Living options offering LifeCare contracts. Set to be completed by 2027, the project will introduce 70 new, open-concept Independent Living residences, complete with underground parking. In addition, the current Independent Living building will see updates to dining spaces and common areas, with plans for a beautifully renovated entrance that will help unify the entire community.

“The Village of Arlington Heights has been a longstanding partner, and we appreciate their support,” said Nadim Abi-Antoun, President & CEO of Presbyterian Homes. “This expansion is a key component of our community’s renewal, reflecting The Moorings’ ongoing commitment to helping older adults live better, longer.”

Breaking Ground on the Future

Groundbreaking is anticipated for 2026, but the planning has already been set into motion. The Moorings has partnered with renowned firms to bring the project to life, including Perkins Eastman (architecture and design), Plante Moran Living Forward (business and financial advisory), and Skender (construction). To ensure that everyone is on board, The Moorings has hosted town halls and group conversations with current and prospective residents, as well as surrounding neighbors.

A comprehensive communications plan will keep everyone informed about the project’s progress, helping to ensure a smooth and transparent process as The Moorings continues to grow.

Economic Impact and Job Creation

The expansion is not just a benefit for residents—it’s a win for the community at large. “This project is a major investment that will create new employment opportunities during the construction phase and contribute to the long-term economic vitality of the Greater Chicago area,” shared Mark Havrilka, CFO of Presbyterian Homes.

Once construction is complete, the new building will provide a vibrant living experience for future residents. Those who are interested can even become Charter Members, securing early access to their preferred floor plans, locations, and views.
