A while back Orland Park accepted bids from developers to redevelop the rest of "The Orland Park Triangle" (bounded by 143rd St, Lagrange Rd, and Southwest Highway). They received 6 bids, and selected two developers to create more developed plans and present them at a meeting on July 19th. The village is expected to choose a developer on August 7th. The two firms trying to develop the land are Chicago based Structured Development and Orland based Edward Realty.

Across from the Orland Park Triangle (NW corner of 143rd street and SW highway) is an acre plot of land where RH development is proposing a 64 unit 5 story apartment building called The Pointe (
). The rendering provided by The Tribune is pretty nasty looking so I don't have high hopes for the aesthetics of this one, but it hopefully will bring visual and physical density to what the village is trying to make a downtown area. The article also mentions that the village is planing on re-configuring the intersection of 143rd and SW Highway which im hoping will become more pedestrian friendly. A 3 story development called Sertoma Center is also said to be approved for 14205 Union Ave which is just north of this site.

The same developer as The Pointe is also proposing an apartment building in downtown Tinley, right across from the train station on Oak Park Ave. It
Is called the Boulevard at Central Station. It looks to be quite a large development at 160 units and 40,000 sqft of commercial space. However the
article covering The Pointe mentions that this development has faced plenty of obstacles over its lifeline.
