There are two housing developments and an entertainment district proposed near the southeast corner of Batavia, although technically Aurora, it’s close enough it’ll seem like Batavia Illinois.
The proposed housing developments are both in the Batavia school district.

APEX District
- Key Highlights: A new development named the APEX District, short for Aurora Premier Experiences District, was announced on January 24. The site is a 50-acre parcel located east of the Chicago Premium Outlets and south of Bilter Road. The City of Aurora purchased this land in 2019 as a potential casino location.
- Development Team: After the casino was relocated, the city issued a request for qualifications in 2023. Instead of a single firm, a team of four developers was chosen: Cordogan Clark, LCI Development Partners, CARD Associates, and Harbour. This team brings a diverse range of experience in master planning, residential development, and both sports and e-sports facility development.
- Project Details: The district is planned to include eating establishments.
- Upcoming Dates: Details for the APEX District are still in progress, with more information potentially becoming available soon.
