Floor Plan
The Triangle - Sheridan Road & 7th Street
A destination district taking shape at your front door
Directly across the street, the Village-owned 8-acre Triangle is being progressively marketed for redevelopment as a mixed-use lakefront destination: a boutique hotel and active-adult residences framing a programmed central green with an outdoor performance venue, plus ground-floor retail and dining. As it comes online, the Triangle will bring new residents, overnight guests, and daytime traffic directly to this corridor.
