Development History

In 1987, Harlem Irving Companies embarked upon a multiyear/multiuse initiative commonly known as Read Dunning Development; located in Chicago, at Irving Park Rd. and Narragansett Ave.

This large-scale project includes Dunning Square shopping center, Glenlake Condominiums (both Harlem Irving owned and developed), and an industrial property component known as the Wright Campus Business Park.

Harlem Irving Companies led the development team in negotiating the acquisition of sites and entitlements, while spearheading the retail and residential components of this unique in-city planned venture.

The Read Dunning undertaking evolved over a 15-year period and was a model public/private effort; as various agencies representing the State of Illinois, City of Chicago, and Village of Norridge all were stakeholders or participants in the project.
