Liberty Center looking to add new family entertainment attraction in vacant space

A new-to-market, family entertainment concept could be coming to Liberty Center

Chicago-based professional services and investment management company JLL told this news outlet it is negotiating a lease with the possible tenant.

“We’re hoping we can make some traction there,” said Giorgio Karras, one of three JLL vice presidents tasked with handling retail leasing at the center since last September, when JLL took over leasing and management of the $350 million mixed use project.

If the deal gets approved, the project would likely fill approximately 40,000 square feet left vacant for development at The Foundry, Liberty Center’s indoor shopping mall, and require Liberty Center’s management office to relocate.

Liberty Center has welcomed several new tenants in the past year, including home-décor retailer Burlap & Birch; women’s clothing store Sorella Boutique; Sugar & Spice Spa/Event Center, value-priced jewelry and chic accessories retailer Claire’s and Le Macaron, a french pastries business.
