Westfield Old Orchard Adding Three Stores in Former Lord & Taylor Space

As part of the ongoing renovations of the Skokie Westfield Old Orchard Mall, a vacant space will soon welcome three new retailers. The long-shuttered department store that was once a Lord & Taylor at Westfield Old Orchard will become home to artisan-crafted, sustainably sourced home furnishings brand Arhaus, high-tech mini golf experience Puttshack, and top fashion brand ZARA.

Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW), the European commercial real estate company, unveiled the multi-phase redevelopment plans designed to transform the Chicago North Shore center and enhance the customer experience.

The development of new residences, eateries, wellness facilities and outdoor amenities is expected to begin in 2024 and will open in phases starting in 2026. “The transformational redevelopment now underway at Westfield Old Orchard will enhance experiences for Skokie residents and visitors, supporting the center as an economic engine for our community,” said Skokie Mayor George Van Dusen.
