In 1990, The Prime Group acquired nearly 3,000 acres and introduced the concept of a Master Planned Community, where sound planning determines the appropriate mix of residential corporate, retail and recreational components.

The retail component includes Huntley Factory Shops, a Jeffersonian-style mall with over 60 stores. The mall, which opened in 1994 and expanded in 1996, provides for nearly 50 percent of the Village’s annual sales tax revenues.The Huntley Automall opened in 1999 with room for eight dealerships. It, too, provides substantial tax dollars for the community’s future growth. Finally, Huntley Village Green, a grocer-anchored retail center, will round out the retail sector with 600,000+ sq.ft. of shopping.

Huntley Corporate Park offers 400+ acres of premium sites with tollway frontage and unobstructed visibility. A championship golf course, currently under development, is planned to be a Hale Irwin signature course.

The Master Planned Community’s residential component was satisfied by Del Webb’s first four-season community. Once completed, Del Webb’s Sun City, the popular active adult community, will contain over 6,000 homes with a population of 11,000+ residents. As of November, 1999 more than 500 homes have been sold and occupied.
