After completing I-88, Harbour built Oakbrook Center, which is a shopping center located near Interstate 88 and Route 83 in Oak Brook, Illinois. It was originally opened in 1962. Managed and co-owned by General Growth Properties, it is the second largest shopping center in the Chicago metropolitan area, by gross leasable area, only surpassed by Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois. Current anchor stores include Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, (formerly Marshall Field’s), Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom.
Considered Chicago’s most successful mall, it is a premier shopping center and spectacular outdoor mall with over 170 stores and more than 2 million square feet. Oak Brook Center has been expanded a few times but has always managed to maintain the clean, timeless look and feel of the original white structure concept.
