Title/Name/Summary
Old CIBC Bank Drive-Thru Demo- 14497 John Humphrey Drive - Drive thru demolition
History
This property was originally constructed as a part of the Orland Square Professional Center Development (2004-0204), consisting of 3 similarly styled two-story office buildings on a 4.58 parcel lot. Landscaping for this site was approved through the approved Comprehensive Landscape Plan (2006-0640).
The single building identified as 14497 John Humphrey Drive has been used for various financial institutions since it’s construction until CIBC Bank vacated the space in 2023. The site remained vacant until new ownership purchased the property with intention of converting the building into generalized office space.
In 2025, the property was determined to be blighted (2025-0521) and was granted a Class 7b tax incentive agreement (2025-0522) to incentivize the redevelopment of the property.
