The 250 Residences parking garage in Buffalo Grove, IL, is part of a larger redevelopment known as The Clove, a revitalization effort transforming the area into a vibrant, mixed-use destination. Serving the nearly 300 apartment units within The 250 Residences, this standalone four-level parking structure includes three supported levels and is designed to match the masonry of the adjacent apartment building. The parking structure connects to the residential building through multiple sky bridges at different levels, with openings left in the spandrels for easy integration.

To match the masonry aesthetic of the apartments, Wells partnered to deliver formliner that creates a simulated brick pattern across the exterior. The surface was then field-stained to achieve a highly realistic brick appearance. This approach provided a durable, low-maintenance alternative while preserving the intended architectural expression. The result is a cohesive structure that supports the residential community while reinforcing the overall design vision of The Clove development.
