Rosemont, Illinois, immediately west of O’Hare International Airport and accessible from downtown Chicago via the CTA Blue Line at the Rosemont station, gives Fashion Outlets of Chicago a consumer profile that combines the Chicago metro suburban outlet visitor with the international tourist and business traveler who finds a premium outlet within minutes of an international terminal. The 530,000 square foot Macerich property serves that dual catchment from a position at the intersection of I-90, the Rosemont Entertainment District, and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center that places the outlet adjacent to an existing destination cluster rather than in a standalone commercial corridor.
The luxury and premium contemporary tenant concentration runs Brunello Cucinelli, Gucci, Burberry, Versace, and Jimmy Choo for the first-tier luxury outlet positions alongside BOSS and Armani. Rag and Bone, Theory, AllSaints, Vince, Maje, Sandro, and Zadig and Voltaire anchor the premium contemporary fashion outlet register. Moose Knuckles and Rudsak, the Montreal-founded luxury outerwear brands, give the property a distinctive cold-weather outerwear outlet position. Arc’teryx serves the premium technical outdoor apparel outlet category. Aritzia, the Vancouver-founded premium women’s fashion brand, gives the property a Canadian-identity premium fashion anchor unusual for a US outlet format. Bloomingdale’s The Outlet Store and Nordstrom Rack serve the off-price department store and anchor floor.
HeyTea and Tsaocaa Tea, the Chinese-origin premium bubble tea brands whose US expansion has followed the Asian tourist and Chinese diaspora consumer into major retail destinations near international airports, give the property an F&B identity that signals its international consumer base. The Gundam Base, the Japanese hobby and collectible figures brand, and POP MART serve the Asian pop culture retail category. Läderach and Lindt Chocolate complete the Swiss and premium confectionery floor. Vuori, lululemon, Adidas, Nike, Columbia, and Puma cover the activewear and sportswear outlet register. The property’s market position is Chicago’s airport-adjacent luxury outlet node: a Macerich format whose Brunello Cucinelli-to-Gucci outlet tier, O’Hare Blue Line accessibility, and international tenant identity give Rosemont a consumer mix that car-dependent outlet formats in the Chicago suburban ring cannot access.
