The Streets of Woodfield

The Streets of Woodfield is a shopping mall located at I-290 and Higgins Rd. in Schaumburg, Illinois, directly across from Woodfield Mall. McCaffery Interests, a Chicago-based real estate developer, rebuilt the mall into the present-day configuration as a shopping and entertainment mall anchored by Carson Pirie Scott, GameWorks, Dick's Sporting Goods, and a movie theater owned by Loews Theaters. The lifestyle retail is known throughout the area as a prominent shopping haven.[1]

History

Previously, The Streets of Woodfield was an enclosed, discount-oriented shopping mall known as One Schaumburg Place. One Schaumburg Place opened in 1991, anchored by a Loews Cineplex, Montgomery Ward, Filene's Basement, Phar-Mor, Child World and Highland Superstore (an appliance/electronics retailer). After Montgomery Ward closed in 1997, the mall saw a decline in traffic. McCaffery Interests purchased One Schaumburg Place in 1997 and began reconfiguring the development from a two-level indoor mall into a streetside retail development.[5] This major overhaul concluded in 2000.[6] Joseph Freed and Associates LLC purchased the mall in 2004.[6]
