Nuveen Real Estate has bought a shopping center of 548,000 square feet in Algonquin, Illinois, from Red Mountain Group Inc. The asset for Suburban Chicago, called Algonquin Commons, traded for $ 100 million, according to Yardi Research Data.
The price reflects a significant increase compared to what Red Mountain Group paid when he bought the site in 2021, of which Yardi research data demonstrates that it was $ 33 million. Since then, the company has implemented various initiatives to breathe new life into the active new life.
For example, the occupation has grown from 60 percent to more than 90 percent, with the company adding new anchor tenants. Other changes include moving different stores around the site for better cross-shopping and adding more eating and beauty options.

The retail market in Chicago is steadily
With little development on the retail market in Chicago, the foundation of the area is expected to become solid for the rest of the year, according to a report from JLL. Less than 800,000 square feet were under construction at the start of the year, with the development of retail trade from 76.9 percent from levels that were seen from 2015 to 2019.
While the net absorption percentage of the area reached a negative 420,000 square feet in the fourth quarter of 2024, the vacancies of the retail trade rose only by 10 basic points to 4.7 percent in the first quarter of 2025, still much lower than the 6.2 percent registered during the COVID-19-Pandemia.
Various shopping centers in the suburbs of Chicago traded last year, including Rice Lake Square in Weaton, ill., Which bought core purchases from Grosvenor for $ 34.2 million in June 2024. The same month, DRA advisers sold an asset of 108,412 square foot called Iroquois Center to DRA advisers for $ 9.9 million. That shopping center is in Naperville, sick.
