The Skokie Westfield Old Orchard Mall is undergoing renovations and will soon welcome three new retailers to a previously vacant space. The former Lord & Taylor department store at Westfield Old Orchard has been transformed into a hub for artisan-crafted, sustainably sourced home furnishings by Arhaus, high-tech mini golf experience Puttshack, and top fashion brand ZARA.
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW), the European commercial real estate company behind this project, has unveiled multi-phase redevelopment plans that aim to enhance the customer experience at Chicago’s North Shore center. These plans include developing new residences, eateries, wellness facilities and outdoor amenities in phases starting from 2026. According to Skokie Mayor George Van Dusen,”The ongoing transformation of Westfield Old Orchard will not only benefit residents but also boost our community’s economy.”
