The Lincolnwood Town Center, a 36‑year‑old suburban mall at 3333 W. Touhy Ave. that has seen rising vacancies, is slated for demolition in three phases later this year and into 2027, with the village of Lincolnwood approving a non‑binding roadmap that will see the southern section torn down first, followed by the mid‑section and finally the Kohl’s anchor. While many smaller stores are already closed and the remaining ones must vacate soon, Kohl’s says it intends to stay open, though its future remains uncertain. The site’s owners, Prairie Ridge Development and XR Advisors, have proposed a mixed‑use plan featuring a large‑box discount retailer (up to 175,000 sq ft), a car dealership, and additional commercial space, but no warehouses or offices, aiming to boost local tax revenue. The ordinance requires the developer to secure final zoning by November and obtain a building permit for the retailer by April 2027, with $1.5 million in letters of credit or cash deposits to be provided during construction. The mall’s decline mirrors broader retail shifts in the Chicago area, and officials hope the new development will revitalize the tract.
