Bradford Allen has kicked off preleasing for Arbor House, an eight-story, 301-unit luxury apartment building rising at 25 E. Algonquin Road in Arlington Heights. Studios through three-bedrooms start at about $1,895 per month, with developer materials targeting first move-ins in spring 2026. The building is set to anchor Bradford Allen’s mixed-use Arlington Gateway plan at the village’s southeast entrance.
Arbor House packs 301 residences with starting rents of $1,895 and roughly 17,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, including a pool, terrace with fire pits, resident lounge, coworking rooms, and a fitness center, plus about 26,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. The developer is also touting concrete construction for quieter units and modern finishes like quartz countertops and in-unit laundry, according to REBusinessOnline.
What Residents Will Get
The community offers studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts across more than 50 unique floor plans, with select apartments featuring private balconies and smart-home hardware, per the property's leasing page at Cross Street. Cross Street lists first resident move-ins for mid-April 2026 and notes that Lancaster Living will handle day-to-day operations, while Cross Street oversees leasing.
Arlington Gateway And ArlingtonMed
Arbor House is the first phase of Bradford Allen’s Arlington Gateway master plan, a roughly 16- to 18-acre effort to knit housing, retail, and medical uses together at the southeast corner of Algonquin and Arlington Heights roads. As part of that push, the developer is converting the nearby former Daily Herald offices into a roughly 150,000-square-foot medical complex called ArlingtonMed, according to project materials from Bradford Allen.
Where This Fits Locally
Local coverage has cast Arbor House as one of the rare large rental projects to land in Arlington Heights in recent years, a bid to fill what has been described as a gap in the village’s multifamily supply. "This building is unique," Bradford Allen’s Brian Carley told the Daily Herald, adding that the product is aimed at commuters and younger renters.
Leasing, Timeline And How To See Units
Arbor House is being leased exclusively by Cross Street, which is taking appointments for tours and running marketing for the community, while Lancaster Living is slated to manage on-site operations. The official community website is already collecting interest for spring move-ins and offers floor plans, pricing details, and a waitlist for appointments. Prospective residents can find leasing information on ArborHouseApartments.com and the Cross Street leasing page.
Developer Push And Local Upgrades
Bradford Allen has been buying additional parcels in the corridor and pitching a broader town-center-style vision that could include future apartment phases and retail, as The Real Deal reported. Local trustees have also signed off on infrastructure work, including a roughly $4.5 million sewer replacement on Algonquin Road, intended to increase capacity for the level of density planned around the site.
With leasing underway and retail shells planned at street level, Arbor House and the larger Arlington Gateway buildout will serve as a test of just how ready Arlington Heights is for dense, amenity-heavy housing at one of its key entry points. Developers and village officials say the goal is to stitch new residential, medical, and shopping options into a single, walkable gateway into town.
