Infiniti Pointe Apartments Plat Heads to Council
Owners and neighbors near Parkside and Hovey should watch Monday's council vote, since construction of the 60-unit first phase waits on renewed approval.
Updated on Nov. 1, 2026 in Apartments
Developers of the Infiniti Pointe project in Normal are seeking renewed council approval of a subdivision plat for the first phase, which would include 60 residential units. The council takes up the request at its Monday meeting at 7:30 p.m. at Uptown Station.
Why it matters
The original June 15 approval expired before the plat was recorded with McLean County, so the project cannot move forward to building construction until the plat is re-approved and recorded. Town staff attributed the lapse to issues involving the development's annexation agreement.
The first-phase plat covers just under two acres at the northwest corner of Parkside and Hovey and is divided into two lots for multifamily development. Town rules require an approved final plat to be recorded within 90 days, and the June 15 approval lapsed before recording.
The players
Town of Normal Council
The elected body of Normal, Illinois, which approves subdivision plats and sets local development rules that affect new residential construction.
McLean County
The Illinois county where approved final plats must be recorded, making it the official record-keeper for local property subdivisions.
The details
Site preparation can proceed before a plat is recorded, and the developer has already cleared the site and completed some grading. Renewed approval is required before building construction can begin. Town staff recommends conditionally reapproving the plat under the terms of the original approval, and once those conditions are satisfied, the town clerk would be authorized to record the plat with McLean County.
Timeline
June 15: Council initially approved the Infiniti Pointe plat, but the approval expired before recording.
Monday, 7:30 p.m.: Council meeting to consider the renewed plat request at Uptown Station.
The Home Front
The Infiniti Pointe plat sits within the town's rule requiring approved final plats to be recorded within 90 days, a deadline that determines when new apartment units can move from paper approval to construction. The renewed request also ties the project to the Business 51 and West Raab Road area, which is the subject of a proposed TIF district.
If you live near Parkside and Hovey or in the Business 51 and West Raab Road area, the council decision on Monday will shape when this 60-unit apartment phase could be built. Renters and nearby homeowners should watch the council agenda for conditions that affect construction timing.
The takeaway
Because the plat lapsed before recording, a project can have council approval and still stall, so the recording date matters as much as the vote. Check the Normal council agenda for Monday's Infiniti Pointe item if the project affects your neighborhood.
What happens next
The council considers the renewed Infiniti Pointe plat at its Monday meeting at 7:30 p.m., and if conditions are satisfied afterward, the town clerk would be authorized to record the plat.
