The Arboretum of South Barrington where shopping comes naturally
About the Arboretum



Vision & Concept

Occupying the site of a former tree nursery, this 86-acre parcel in South Barrington will feature the lush landscaping of its namesake. The architectural detailing at The Arboretum celebrates an inspired fusion of midwestern sensibilities and fresh, contemporary spaces. Natural gathering areas, abundant green space and a pedestrian-friendly layout contribute to the feel of a true neighborhood environment. The result is a compelling mix of crafted detail and energized elegance; of comfortable, attractive surroundings and outstanding retail, dining and entertainment destinations. The Arboretum is a place where local residents and visitors alike will come together to shop, dine and enjoy themselves in comfort, quality and style.

The buzz surrounding The Arboretum is growing. A number of enthusiastic national retailers have already committed; several making their first entry into the Chicago market. The Arboretum's storefronts and restaurants are already more than 75% committed, a testament to the project's strength.

The highlights are impressive:

  • An unbeatable location; at the north east corner of Route 59 and Higgins Road, only minutes from a full regional interchange at I-90/59.
  • Outstanding demographics; a "bulls-eye retail location" located at the heart of Chicago's affluent northwest suburbs.
  • An energized environment, with the convenient amenities of a world-class retail shopping experience.
  • An authentic town center with a true sense of place.

A distinctive experience and an enduring destination, The Arboretum will exude classical detailing and contemporary energy, a place where you can eat, drink, shop, and play in suburban Chicago’s premier open-air town center.
