As New Lenox continues to experience high demand for residential housing, developers are looking to incorporate and develop available acreage along key corridors. The Cedar Pointe Subdivision is the latest significant residential project moving through the municipal pipeline. Situated on nearly 80 acres of land along South Cedar Road, the development represents a major step in expanding the Village's residential footprint. Here are the verifiable details on where the Cedar Pointe project currently stands as of September 2026.
For buyers keeping an eye on the Lincoln-Way area, tracking early-stage developments is critical due to the persistent lack of existing home inventory. The Village of New Lenox has been processing the annexation, zoning, and development approvals required to bring the Cedar Pointe Subdivision forward.
Spearheaded by petitioner John LaFlamboy, the proposed subdivision sits on an approximate 78.6-acre property located at 22522 South Cedar Road. Because the property began the process outside the Village limits, the project required a formal Annexation Agreement in addition to standard zoning and plat approvals.
Project Scope and Plan Commission Action
The first major hurdle for the Cedar Pointe development was securing the initial backing of the Village's planning officials. The petitioner requested Annexation, Rezoning, and a Special Use Permit for a Preliminary Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) Plat.
On May 19, 2026, the New Lenox Plan Commission held a public hearing to review these requests. After reviewing the site plan and addressing staff comments, the Commission voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the Village Board. The approval of the preliminary P.U.D. plat was granted subject to preliminary engineering and landscaping approval, the resolution of remaining staff comments, and the successful negotiation of the Annexation Agreement.
Movement at the Village Board Level
Following the Plan Commission's recommendation, the Cedar Pointe project advanced to the Village Board of Trustees. During the June 8, 2026, Village Board meeting, a formal public hearing was held regarding the Annexation Agreement for Cedar Pointe.
The project moved another step forward on August 10, 2026, when the Annexation Agreement, annexation of the property, rezoning, and the Special Use Permit for the preliminary P.U.D. plat returned to the Village Board agenda for second readings.
That movement shows Cedar Pointe has progressed substantially beyond its initial Plan Commission review. However, until final municipal actions and remaining engineering requirements are confirmed, construction timing and final development details remain subject to change.

What This Means for the Local Market
The addition of a nearly 80-acre subdivision along the Cedar Road corridor is a substantial development for New Lenox. It would provide additional future housing inventory for families looking to enter the local school districts while extending the Village's residential footprint and supporting infrastructure.
For current residents traveling the South Cedar Road corridor, this development would eventually transition the existing property into a structured neighborhood. As the project continues through engineering and development approvals, residents should watch for updates regarding site grading, utility extensions, construction activity, and roadway access improvements designed to handle the new residential traffic.
