In September, 1970, a Preliminary Proposal for a Planned Development (Woodridge Center) was published to entice potential developers to invest in the "spirited Woodridge Community". This proposal was written by Herbert Nadelhoffer of the Woodridge Center Owners Executive Group and Thomas Brown of Brown/Heldt Associates, an environmental planning group.
The original proposal included plans for a shopping center, professional offices and shops as well as larger businesses, such as a supermarket and department store. While this overall vision was never completed, the residential community of Woodridge Center was started as a Planned Unit Development in 1973 by Rossmoor, a developer from California.
The web page cover photo is an architect's rendering of the Clubhouse, swimming pool, and court areas. It is pretty close to how it looks today!
