first phase of the project.

The joint development of Bond Cos., of Chicago and Los Angeles, and Hinsdale-based MDC Properties sits on a 27-acre property at the northwest corner of 75th Street and Fort Hill Drive. The shopping center, in southwest Naperville, has 96% occupancy for the 230,000-sf first phase.

"The overall retail market with the economy has been softer, but our property has exceeded the market due to its location and quality," says Rob Bond, president of the self-named firm. "What we created there was heads and shoulders above anything ever created in this portion of Naperville. Because of that, we've gotten the anchors we have and created the tenant demand to be here."

Openings of the anchors and other tenants in the center have been steady and staggered throughout the summer. Anchors Whole Foods, Cost Plus World Market and Loehmann's have already opened, along with Buffalo Wild Wings, Noodles & Company, and Road Runner Sports. Future tenant openings include Nordstrom Rack on Sept. 25, Home Goods on Sept. 28, with Fannie May Confections, Two Bostons Pet Boutique & Gourmet Bakery, Pizza Fusion, Chase Bank, Bank of America, Relax-the-Back and Charles Ifergan opening soon after.
