University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Section II – 2 It is important to note that none of the sites are located deep into the campus complex but are, instead, located in areas near the outer boundaries of the campus and are accessible to non-university consumers. University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana Map Orchard Downs Orchard Downs is bounded by Florida Avenue to the north, Race Street to the east, Windsor Road to the south and the Arboretum/Orchard Street to the west. The 160acre parcel located in Urbana and owned by the University is presently occupied by roughly 1,500 graduate students and their families in 780 dated, one- and twobedroom housing units. The University of Illinois has commissioned a study to identify strategies for revitalizing the residential apartments, including the addition of modern amenities such as air conditioning and carpeting, and for developing the 30% of the parcel that is green space. The undeveloped land is the southernmost 30% of the parcel and is situated in the northwest corner of the Windsor Road/Race Street intersection. There are three features of the site that drive the retail strategy presented in Section IV. First, Orchard Downs’ location and layout represents a logical and geographic gateway on the southeast corner of the campus. The gateway concept provides a sense of place, a boundary line, and a physical beginning and end to the campus. Second, some of the market’s most appealing and affluent single-family homes are located in neighborhoods to the north and east of Orchard Downs. Jones Lang LaSalle Southern Urbana Residential
