The Promenade Bolingbrook, also known as The Promenade, is a 750,000-square-foot (70,000 m2) open-air shopping center in Bolingbrook, Illinois, a large suburb of Chicago. It opened on April 26, 2007, at the intersection of Boughton Road and Interstate 355. Anchor tenants include Bass Pro Shops, Macy's, iPic Theaters, Binny's Beverage Depot, Barnes & Noble and DSW Shoe Warehouse. It is owned by Starwood Retail Partners and managed by Starwood Capital Group.
Macy's was originally planned to be a Marshall Field's while Binny's Beverage Depot was a Circuit City which closed in 2009. Across the street from The Promenade is a Meijer, which opened on May 21, 2002. There are many stores in the Promenade that makes it a one stop shop when in the area and traveling.
Four Months after The Promenade opened to the public, Boston pension adviser has acquired two retail buildings near the new shopping center for $33.3 million. TA Associates Realty LLC bought the two properties, a 31,270-square-foot Staples store at 740 E. Boughton Road and a multi-tenant building at 700-734 E. Boughton, from a partnership led by Dallas-based Brewer Development LLC, according to property records. The sale closed the latest month.
Macy's, Which Opened In 2007
The two buildings are near the massive Ikea furnishings store that opened in 2005. Brewer acquired the two sites that year from Promenade's developer, Cleveland-based Forest City Enterprises Inc. Forest City still owns the new mall, which is anchored by a Macy's store and a Bass Pro Shops store.
The 76,000-square-foot, multi-tenant building TA bought is about 10% vacant and has tenants that include Bed Bath & Beyond, Men's Wearhouse and Sport Clips. A source familiar with the matter says TA Associates has hired an Oak Brook Terrace-based company to lease and manage the properties. Calls to Brewer Development weren't returned; a spokesman with TA Associates declined to comment.

The Promenade Bolingbrook received LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Expansion[]
Forest City is developing twenty-one acres adjacent to The Promenade Bolingbrook into a mixed-use residential/office development. The development will include at least 160 apartments for low-income residents aged 55 or older.
The office space, which is planned to include at least three buildings and will take up 2/3 of the site, is being developed build-to-suit. While construction on the first 80 units of the residential portion is scheduled for late 2009, the office development may take several years to begin, once market conditions rebound. The area includes an Aloft Hotel and a LA Fitness.

IKEA Sign
The Promenade North is located across from the outdoor shopping center includes IKEA, which opened on September 28, 2005, and 2 strip plazas, which were both built in 2006. One features Bed Bath & Beyond and The Other features Michaels and Petland Aquarium Adventure.
The Michaels once operated at The Grove Shopping Center in Downers Grove and was a Staples. There was a Michaels that operated at the Country Aire Plaza, which was on Weber Road in the same city. It closed on October 22, 2011.

The Bed Bath & Beyond strip plaza features a Bank Of America, Jimmy John's and Men's Wearhouse. In January 2018, Panera Bread relocated a block from The Promenade North, to the other side of the express way in front of the La-Z-Boy and Ashley Furniture.
