El Pato Loco – West Dundee

Activating Main Street with Bold Flavors

 

When we redeveloped 120 W Main, we knew lodging alone wasn’t enough to make the building a true downtown destination.


To fully activate the ground floor of this historic property, we needed a bold, complementary use — one that would attract locals, delight guests of Sinclair Suites, and bring new energy to West Dundee’s dining scene.

That’s how El Pato Loco was born: a chef‑driven Mexican restaurant designed to pair perfectly with the Sinclair Suites lodging experience while adding vibrancy to Main Street.


This wasn’t just about leasing space. It was about curating the right concept for the right place — an approach we take with every mixed‑use project.


 

What We Built 

 

  • A chef‑driven Mexican restaurant delivering scratch‑made cuisine and a vibrant dining experience.
     
  • An integrated street‑level activation that supports Sinclair Suites and invites the community in.
     
  • A concept aligned with West Dundee’s downtown revitalization, helping strengthen its identity as a regional dining destination.

     

Why It Matters


El Pato Loco is more than a tenant — it’s a curated piece of the larger 120 W Main vision. It:


  • Draws new visitors downtown, boosting foot traffic for nearby businesses.
     
  • Enhances the Sinclair Suites guest experience with an on‑site dining option.
     
  • Expands the culinary diversity of West Dundee, offering a concept that stands out in the region.



Designing With Care

  

  • Bright, lively interiors that reflect the energy of the concept.
     
  • Cohesive branding that balances playfulness with sophistication.
     
  • Seamless integration with Sinclair Suites to ensure a connected guest experience.
     

This is Sightwell’s approach in action: pairing adaptive reuse with curated activation to create places that truly come alive.
