Smith Crossing Plans $43.75M Final Campus Expansion
November 11, 2026
ORLAND PARK, Ill. — Smith Crossing recently announced plans for a $43.75 million expansion that will add 36 independent living apartments to its senior living campus in Orland Park.
The four-story, 96,973-square-foot building will be the fourth and final phase of expansion on the nonprofit community’s 32-acre campus. Once completed, the project will increase Smith Crossing’s independent living inventory to 209 residences.
Smith Senior Living said the project will bring its total investment in the Smith Crossing campus to approximately $163 million.
Smith Crossing began construction of its main building in 2003. The campus subsequently added an independent living expansion in 2012 and a short-term rehabilitation expansion in 2020.
Smith Senior Living said before moving forward with the latest project, the organization commissioned a feasibility study that found continued growth in households headed by adults 75 and older within its primary market area in Chicago’s southwest suburbs. It said the study also projected that 34.1% of households headed by someone 75 or older in the market area will have a net worth of at least $500,000 by 2029, up from 31.7% in 2024.
Smith Crossing is sponsored by Smith Senior Living, a nonprofit senior living organization established in 1924.
