Two Brothers Brewing Company Purchases America’s Roundhouse in Aurora

Illinois real estate - homes for sale and information for buyers and sellers. Homes in Illinois by real estate agent Eric Rogers

Two Brothers Brewing CompanyIn perhaps one of the biggest real estate news stories of the spring, Two Brothers Brewing Company announced Tuesday evening that it had purchsed the former America’s Roundhouse in Aurora. Two Brothers Brewing Company is owned by co-founders Jason and Jim Ebel and currently operates a microbrewery and tap house in Warrenville. Two Brothers has been in operation since 1996 and has been constantly expanding – adding additional capacity and additional types of beer seemingly every year. Two Brothers beers have been distributed all over the midwest and have a cult-like following both at home and abroad for championing rare brewing styles and ingredient combinations.

Two Brothers Brewing Company reportedly paid around $1.1 million for the former Walter Payton’s Roundhouse in Aurora with plans to re-structure the operations there. The brewing company has been operating the Two Brothers Tap House in Warrenville for several years and it has become a prime destination for fans of Two Brothers beers. The addition of the huge America’s Roundhouse to the Two Brothers portfolio will no doubt allow the company to expand both its brewing operation as well as hopefully serve as a second brewpub with a central location to downtown Aurora. The Two Brothers facebook page has been abuzz ever since the announcement with fans of the company cheering the deal.

New Fox Valley Park District Cole Center

Illinois real estate - homes for sale and information for buyers and sellers. Homes in Illinois by real estate agent Eric Rogers

Cole Center AuroraLike a interesting flower springing up along the Fox River, the new Fox Valley Park District’s Cole Center took me by surprise a couple weeks ago. I don’t know if I just haven’t taken the Illinois bridge over the river in a while or if I just didn’t notice the construciton but whatever the case, I had some time today to stop by and check out the new building. Located just west of River street and the Fox River itself along Illinos on the west side of Aurora, the Cole Center was designed to consolidate the Fox Valley Park District administration, operations and maintenance in one location. Where there was once a fairly spartan factory/light industrial complex, a stylish office building has taken root. The Kluber, INC. team of architects and engineers have worked their magic and really transformed the existing space into one of the nicest looking projects I’ve seen in Aurora since the Police Headquarters.

I’m not the only one taking note. Towards the end of February, the Conservation Foundation presented the Fox Valley Park District with the 2011 Sustainable Development Award for the use of sustainable and environmentally friendly design elements in the new Cole Center. Some of the highlights will include LED lighting, a rainwater re-use and storage system, low water requirement landscaping, a permeable paver block parking lot and many others.

Caterpillar to Stay in Illinois

Illinois real estate - homes for sale and information for buyers and sellers. Homes in Illinois by real estate agent Eric Rogers

Aurora IllinoisIn a press conference following a meeting between Cat CEO Doug Oberhelman and Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, Oberhelman seemed to indicate that the large equipment manufacturer will be staying in Illinois, at least for the time being. There was a virtual uproar after it was revealed that Oberhelman sent letter to Quinn expressing disappointment with the corporate income tax increase passed several months ago that nearly doubled business taxes. After an hour-long meeting today, both Oberhelman and Quinn seemed to come out strong with positive attitudes – Quinn about creating more jobs and fostering a better business environment and image in Illinois and Oberhelman about the company’s plans to remain in Illinois. You may wonder what this has to do with Fox Valley real estate. Well, Caterpillar is a Fortune 500 company with headquarters in Peoria, Illinois and a large manufacturing plant in Aurora, Illinois. Caterpillar is one of the Fox Valley’s largest employers and a few thousand of Cat employees call the region home. There’s been a lot of news surrounding the Aurora factory lately as earlier this year, Caterpillar moved the manufacturing of medium and large wheel loaders to a factory in Texas.
