Buyers can join interest list now for new community prior to start of sales in May

M/I Homes of Chicago, one of the top homebuilders in the Chicagoland area, today announced it has broken ground on a new model townhome at Tribeca, a community of 60 townhomes in north-suburban Grayslake, Ill. Representatives from M/I Homes were joined by officials from the Village of Grayslake on April 8 for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new model, which marks the official start of construction on homes at the community. Prospective buyers are invited to place their name on an interest list for a “First Look” event on April 28 prior to sales beginning in May. First move-ins at Tribeca are expected to take place in August.

Located on Casey Road, between Buckley Road and Route 45, Tribeca is a short walk from the two neighboring Prairie Crossing Metra stations in Grayslake, which provide service to Chicago’s Union Station via the Milwaukee District North and North Central Service lines. The community is also adjacent to the Prairie Crossing Bike Path, which connects with other local bike trails and nearby forest preserves, and is convenient to a variety of shopping and dining options in historic downtown Grayslake.

“We were honored to celebrate the start of work on our first townhome at Tribeca with the Village of Grayslake, knowing that they share our excitement in bringing this new-construction option to the area and complementing the community offerings that attract so many to this sought-after suburb,” said Rick Champine, area president of M/I Homes. “This location is hard to beat in terms of proximity to local amenities and access to Metra – something that will once again be a priority for homebuyers as more people return to the office – and we’ve paired that with thoughtful townhome plans that have the flexibility to appeal to the variety of buyers, from young families to busy professionals to empty nesters, that will appreciate the lifestyle Tribeca and the Grayslake community offer.” 

Priced from the $360,000s, the three-level townhomes at Tribeca feature open-concept living space, island kitchens and lower-level rear-entry three-car garages. Buyers can choose from two three-bedroom plans that both feature 2½ baths and second-floor laundry rooms. 

“These townhomes have many of the same features and spaces as a single-family home, paired with the convenience of a low-maintenance community where snow removal and landscape maintenance are included as part of HOA fees,” said Cheryl Bonk, vice president of sales and marketing for M/I Homes. “Both plans also offer the option to add a flex room and bath on the lower level, which presents buyers the opportunity to tailor the home to their specific lifestyle – whether they are in need of a dedicated home office to accommodate a permanent hybrid work schedule, space for a favorite hobby, or an extra bedroom with privacy for a college-age child or family members that come for extended visits.”

In addition to its proximity to Metra and downtown Grayslake, Tribeca is also near the Lake County Fairgrounds, where a variety of events take place throughout the year. Other nearby recreational options include Independence Grove Forest Preserve, Rollins Savannah Forest Preserve and Jones Island Park on Grays Lake.

Tribeca is served by Libertyville School District 70, which includes Butterfield Elementary School and Highland Middle School, and Grayslake Community High School District 127, which includes Grayslake Central High School.

Homes at all M/I Homes communities come standard with a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty, which not only allows buyers to purchase with confidence, but also adds value if the home is sold in the future. All homes are also WHOLE HOME Certified, an M/I Homes designation indicating the builder’s superior approach when constructing homes. Upon testing, an M/I home will receive a more favorable HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score than an Energy Star-certified home, which can save buyers upwards of 30 percent on their energy bills. A lower HERS Index means lower energy costs, and on average an M/I home achieves a HERS rating of 62, considerably lower than other resale homes and other builders in the market.
