Retailers moving into the space,\u00a0a former\u00a0J.C. Penney department store, are anticipated to be open prior to the 2018 holiday shopping season. Newly announced tenants include H&amp;M, Planet Fitness and Outback Steakhouse. The retail-focused REIT acquired the shopping center in October 2005 along with two other malls in the Midwest as part of a $516.9 million portfolio transaction involving Eastdil Realty Co.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Located at 1615 E. Empire St., the mall opened in 1967 and is home to 76 stores totaling 760,833 square feet. At the corner of Illinois Route 9 and Veterans Parkway, the property is situated in a busy retail district and next to OSF St. Joseph Medical Center. State Farm Insurance\u2019s corporate headquarters sits two blocks south. Anchor tenants at Eastland Mall include Sears, Bergner\u2019s and Kohl\u2019s. Two previous anchor tenants, J.C. Penney and Macy\u2019s, closed their department stores last year.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are thrilled to kick off 2018 by announcing a major anchor redevelopment project at Eastland Mall,\u201d<\/em> said Stephen Lebovitz, president &amp; CEO of CBL Properties, in a prepared statement. <em>\u201cDining, value and fitness are increasingly in demand, and we are pleased to deliver names that not only meet this demand, but elevate the overall customer experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Two miles north, Chicago-based Portillo\u2019s opened a restaurant in the city of Normal\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/novak-construction-delivers-new-portillos-restaurant\/\">busy retail corridor<\/a> last summer, the company\u2019s second location in central Illinois.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image via Google Maps<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of new tenants have committed to the redevelopment, including fashion retailer H&amp;M along with Planet Fitness and Outback Steakhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":861,"featured_media":1004202423,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,13,21742,21749],"tags":[36351,33275,33101,38574,38136],"class_list":["post-1004202422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-midwest","category-latest","category-retail","tag-capital-improvement","tag-cbl-associates-properties-inc","tag-eastdil-secured","tag-hm","tag-jcpenney"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
