Fourteen home furnishings and interior design brands operating simultaneously across an open-air campus in Oak Brook, Illinois makes Oakbrook Center the deepest home goods retail concentration in the greater Chicago market and one of the most significant home retail environments in the United States. RH, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Williams-Sonoma, West Elm, Arhaus, Ballard Designs, The Container Store, The Shade Store, Walter E. Smithe, LoveSac, Lucid, and Tempur-Pedic collectively constitute a home goods and interior design destination that draws from the full western Chicago suburban corridor for the high-average-transaction occasion that no individual lifestyle center in the region can replicate at comparable depth.
Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Macy’s anchor the department store tier, a three-anchor configuration that positions the property at the premium-to-luxury end of the Chicago market. The luxury register is the most complete outside the city: Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Tiffany and Co, Rolex, TAG Heuer, TUDOR, Breitling, Omega, and David Yurman occupy the first-tier luxury and prestige watch positions. CHANEL Fragrance and Beauty, Byredo, and Läderach anchor the fragrance and artisanal confectionery categories. CD Peacock, a Chicago-area fine jewelry institution established in 1837, occupies a legacy position that signals the property’s standing within the regional luxury hierarchy.
The contemporary and DTC fashion register has been substantively repositioned since the 2018 Brookfield ownership transition: Golden Goose, Anine Bing, Reformation, Buck Mason, Psycho Bunny, Tecovas, Varley, and Rhone collectively represent the DTC-to-physical and emerging premium brands that comparable formats in the region have not captured at this concentration. Canada Goose and Johnston and Murphy anchor the premium outerwear and dress footwear categories. The Google Store is one of fewer than a dozen permanent Google retail locations in the United States, occupying a technology retail position alongside Apple.
The dining component is calibrated to the Oakbrook trade area’s professional household profile. Wildfire, Antico Posto, Beatrix, and The Cheesecake Factory form a full-service dining floor that sustains the property’s evening economy. Alo Yoga, lululemon, Arc’teryx, New Balance, and Vuori anchor the premium activewear and outdoor categories that confirm the DuPage County consumer’s premium lifestyle orientation.
Oakbrook Center occupies the A++ lifestyle center position in the western Chicago suburban market that no competing property can challenge on either home goods depth or luxury department store anchor quality. The near-I-88 and I-290 interchange position makes the campus accessible from the entire western suburban grid. For expansion teams targeting the upper-income DuPage and surrounding county household, Oakbrook’s three-anchor luxury configuration, home category depth, and DTC brand concentration define the co-tenancy standard against which all competing suburban Chicago placements are benchmarked.
