Oxford Capital Brings Café to Shops at LondonHouse

Oxford Capital Group, LLC completed its third lease signing of the past eight months, securing La Borra del Café, a Mexican-style café chain. The concept’s second Chicago location will be in The Shops at LondonHouse located at 360 N. Michigan Ave.

The 1,505-square-foot café is expected to open late 2021, and will join Smashburger at The Shops at LondonHouse. Smashburger signed its lease in June 2020.

In addition, Oxford Capital Group recently secured a lease with Butler Hospitality as the New York City-based ghost kitchen for hotels launched in Chicago.

“We are confident about the eventual recovery of North Michigan Avenue, downtown Chicago and its hospitality industry generally as we head into 2021,” said John W. Rutledge, president and CEO of Oxford Capital Group and Oxford Hotels & Resorts. “It’s gratifying that two of these three recent leases are on North Michigan Avenue, given some of the recent announcements.”
