The five-story, 540,000 square-foot structure has one-, two- and two-bedroom-plus-den apartments with 800 to 1,450 square feet. Rents will range from $775 to $1,115.

Targeted toward executive tenants, Elm Creek will also offer two-story, two-bedroom penthouses and one-bedroom corporate suites in the central recreational core.

``The continued corporate growth in neighboring Oak Brook and a limited number of luxury rentals in this area have prompted the development of this project,`` said John C. Wendland, president of American Land Companies, one of three partners in Elm Creek Ltd. Partnership, a joint venture including the National Corporation for Housing Partnerships and Zakos and Associates, Realtors.

The three models are the Butterfield, a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment renting from $775; the Brookwood, a one-bedroom, one-bath with den renting from $860; and the Hinsdale, a two-bedroom, two-bath plan renting from $1,005.
