Former Motorola Atrium Building Proposed for Residential Redevelopment at Veridian | | |
Plans are moving forward to transform the former Motorola Atrium building at Veridian into a new residential community, marking another significant milestone in the continued redevelopment of the former Motorola campus. UrbanStreet Group discussed the project at the Village’s Committee of the Whole meeting on July 21. The proposal would convert the approximately 360,000-square-foot office building into roughly 300 apartment units.
In addition to the adaptive reuse of the existing structure, the redevelopment proposal includes construction of a new four-story residential building and 18 row homes adjacent to the Atrium building. The project is designed to complement the existing Northgate at Veridian neighborhood while supporting the broader vision of creating a vibrant, mixed-use destination within the 90 North District.
The proposed residential conversion reflects the continued evolution of the Veridian development, which is transforming the former Motorola campus into a dynamic mixed-use community featuring residential, retail, hospitality, office, and recreational uses. By repurposing an underutilized office building, the project responds to changing market conditions while preserving an iconic part of Schaumburg's corporate history and creating new housing opportunities within one of the village's premier redevelopment areas.

| | A Decade of Progress at 90 North | | |
Over the past decade, 90 North Schaumburg has emerged as one of the most ambitious and transformative redevelopment efforts in the Chicago region. What was once an aging Motorola campus with underutilized land along the Interstate 90 corridor has evolved into a dynamic mixed-use district designed to support business growth, residential development, entertainment, and community engagement.
Guided by a long-term vision to create a vibrant and prosperous mixed-use destination, the Village of Schaumburg has partnered with developers, property owners, and investors to reposition more than 300 acres into a modern district where people can live, work, and play. Significant infrastructure investments, roadway improvements, and strategic planning efforts have laid the foundation for sustained growth and private-sector investment. To date, more than $800 million in private investment has supported the development of Sunstar, Zurich, Boler, Topgolf, Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, and major new residential developments.
Momentum continues to build with the construction of The District at Veridian, a mixed-use development that will serve as the downtown core of 90 North, featuring residential units, retail, restaurants, and The Fresh Market grocery store. This milestone represents the next chapter in the district’s evolution and reinforces Schaumburg’s commitment to creating a thriving economic and lifestyle destination.
Today, 90 North Schaumburg stands as a testament to thoughtful planning, public-private partnership, and long-term investment. As development continues, the district is poised to remain a catalyst for economic growth and a premier destination for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
