Wow, this is frickin' amazing for Barrington. The former building on that lot (Atlas Van Lines) was torn down over a decade ago and polluted soil was cleaned up. I always assumed it would become some auto-centric piece of crap.

A previous mayor was voted out largely because he wanted a moderate-density mixed use development in this corner of downtown (the "Golden Triangle"), so I'm glad to see this getting approved in a half-decent form.
