Northbrook Court
Northbrook Court is a shopping mall in Northbrook, Illinois with a collection of stores serving the North Shore suburbs of Chicago. Located on 130 acres (0.53 km2) of land, the mall currently features the traditional retailer Neiman Marcus as well as a number of prominent specialty retailers. The mall is in the midst of a perpetually postponed $750 million update and enhanced development which was unveiled in April 2023.
This mall also features a 14-screen Dine-In AMC Theatres on the south side of the mall. It is managed and co-owned by Brookfield Properties.
Northbrook Court originally opened in 1976 with Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Sears. I. Magnin opened later on. Homart Development Company a subsidiary of Sears financed the project. Architectonics, Inc. was the architect. The mall featured sculptures created by Charles Owen Perry which were named after historic figures in scientific research (Archimedes, da Vinci, Mercator and Cassini).
Sears closed in 1983 due to the company determining that the store's market too closely overlapped that of the nearby stores at Hawthorn Mall and Golf Mill Mall. It was converted into a prototype for JCPenney that same year, and then torn down in 1995 for a new Marshall Field's (later Macy's). In 1991, I. Magnin closed and was replaced by General Cinema which opened on November 22, 1996, with 14 auditoriums. It was converted into an AMC Theatres in 2002. A free standing Crate & Barrel home store on the northwest corner of the mall opened that same year. Crate & Barrel used to be where Arhaus is.
In 2007, Northbrook Court took down their traditional food court for a unique prototype, which has now failed. Most of the space was reallocated to Forever 21, leaving 4 spots for restaurants, originally housing Chinese Gourmet Express, Tony & Bruno’s, Subway, and Corner Bakery Cafe. A few restaurants came and went over the years and the only restaurant from this original group left is Tony & Bruno’s. The mall now features six sit-down spaces with four occupied currently: NM Cafe (originally named The Zodiac) (inside Neiman Marcus), California Pizza Kitchen, Di Pescara, and an outparcel P.F. Chang’s. The Claim Company and Stir Crazy closed and/or moved.
California Pizza Kitchen opened its doors on Northbrook Court's north side for the first time in August 2010. On May 16, 2014, Arhaus officially opened at the mall's east side.
On May 11, 2019, Macy's announced the closure of their anchor store, which was demolished for redevelopment.
On August 27, 2020, Lord & Taylor announced the permanent closure of all of its stores, as a result of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
