History
of the Development
…rooted
in ownership
The master plan behind Luther Village included ownership, superior buildings, and an affiliation with a quality health care provider.
In the late 1980s The Shaw Company, developer of Luther Village, set out to design a retirement community unlike any other in Chicagoland. Paramount to their plans were full-equity ownership and affiliation with the Lutheran Home for access to quality health care. The pioneering result was Luther Village, the first ownership retirement community in the Midwest.
The first Luther Village homeowners moved into courtyard homes in 1990. The final mid-rise, Dunton House, opened in 1999 and signaled the end of all construction on the Luther Village campus.
Architects for Luther Village were Solomon, Cordwell, Buenz.
Both Pepper Construction and W. B. Olsen Construction provided top-quality buildings.
