TINLEY PARK, IL-Interstate Commercial Real Estate, based in Oak Brook, IL, has purchased 14.78 acres at the southeast corner of Harlem Avenue and 183rd Street for a new 135,000-sf retail center. The sales price and seller were not disclosed. The parcel is adjacent to the Tinley Park Convention Center, which attracts an average of 650,000 visitors each year.

The anchor tenant for the development will be LA Fitness, with its 45,000-sf standalone building is scheduled to open this week, says Kevin Boyd, president of Interstate. Construction on the rest of the center is expected to begin in the second quarter of this year, with the center estimated to open in spring 2008. The retail center, with the exception of the LA Fitness, is being designed by Tinley Park-based architecture and design firm Aret3 Ltd.

Approximately 42,000 sf of retail will be constructed in two or three buildings, Boyd says.. Additionally, there will be two restaurant buildings, totaling 12,200 sf, and a George Washington Savings Bank. Lease rates and terms were not disclosed. The total value of the project is reportedly $28 million. “It is not going to be a typical strip center. It will be a little bit more aesthetic looking,” Boyd says.
