What about McD's more famous Oak Brook property, the former corporate campus (replaced by McD's new West Loop HQ), which is a bit removed from the Oakbrook site to the north?

Yeah the McDonald’s Campus is the property on Jorie Blvd while the main building was located on 22nd. If I’m not mistaken the Hyatt still operates out of the old McDonald’s campus. It’s a beautiful place to check out if you’re in the area I guess...

Has the retail apocalypse come to Oak Brook Center? It's a common belief that Class A malls, such as Oak Brook, will remain healthy, while the B and C malls will continue to decline and/or disappear.,
Oak Brook is still very popular with people from all over the western suburbs and even the city. It's completely fine.

I'd say this news story sounds more like a problem for Sears than a problem for OBC.

Tons of smaller shops and upscale stores are doing very well there. Remember Oak Brook Center and Yorktown aren't located in areas with bad crime and falling incomes like Dixie Square was. The area is surrounded by some of the most affluent suburbs in Chicago, the Midwest, and even the country.

They just redid their restaurants/dining area there a couple years back, adding Shake Shack, Stan's Donuts, DMK, Nando's, and many more. They wouldn't be adding those places (especially considering they're upscale) if they knew the place had a grim future.

A new office/retail complex is also coming in where McDonald's plaza was.

Oak Brook has a bright future, despite the naysayers saying "the suburbs are all dead".

The design and layout of Oakbrook has no peer in all of Chicagoland’s major mall. If the day of the enclosed mall is over (excluding the megamall thatvis Woodfield, almost like the downtown of the Northwest suburbs), only two malls give the outdoor space that is atune to the shopping of today, Old Orchard and Oakbrook. And only these two share some attributes os today’s retail success, lifestyle centers. Indeed when OO tore down Saks and surrounding stores in its northeast corner, it replaced them with something management said was lifestyle type

Oakbrook runs rings around Old Orchard. Old Orchard is...well...located in inner ring Skokie on a relatively small footprint. No wide parklike green spaces like spread out Oakbrook. When you go to Oakbrook. You have built in a pleasnt experience for Oakbrook truly is a pleasant and welcoming place
