National real estate investment firm The Feil Organization is bringing major improvements to one of the busier indoor malls in suburban Chicago.
The Feil Organization earlier this month announced an $8 million capital-improvement plan for North Riverside Park Mall, a 1.4-million-square-foot shopping center in the Chicago suburb of North Riverside.
Designed by JP2 Architects and fabricated by AECom Hunt Construction Group, the renovations include modernized flooring, updated ceilings and a revamped main entrance. Interior renovations began in January. The entire renovation project is scheduled to be completed by October of this year.
“For years, North Riverside Park Mall has been a landmark shopping destination for the Chicago metropolitan area, and we’re thrilled to breathe new life into it with these renovations,” said Brian Feil, principal at the Feil Organization, in a written statement. “We are committed to ensuring consumers have an unparalleled retail experience and can’t wait to unveil an entirely new, modern shopping center for all to enjoy.”
“As we approach our 50th anniversary, this renovation represents a commitment to our community and our retailers, marking the beginning of a new era that better represents who we serve,” said Glenn Lindholm, general manager of North Riverside Park Mall, also in a written statement. “Providing new and enhanced opportunities to our tenants is of the utmost importance, and we look forward to witnessing their long-term success upon completion of the renovations.”
The Feil Organization acquired North Riverside Pak Mall in 2004. The indoor mall has a roster of 130 national and boutique stores, services and eateries. It also attracts more than 12 million visitors each year. It is located 10 miles from downtown Chicago and five miles from the busy suburb of Oakbrook.
North Riverside Park has added new tenants recently, including Miniso, Pandora, Kids Empire, Kong Dog and the Kids Foot Locker House of Play concept. North Riverside is the first mall location in the nation for Foot Locker’s newly expanded youth concept store.
