Upscale urban mall with 100+ stores, restaurants, and live theatre.
"The downtown urban mall that once housed a variety of restaurants and national chains is planning to repurpose its top five floors for office or medical-clinic use while preserving retail on the lower three floors—a response to dwindling downtown traffic and changing consumer habits along the Magnificent Mile." - Ashok Selvam
"A landmark on the Magnificent Mile renowned for a vast selection of more than 100 stores; the eight-story mall also houses numerous restaurants and entertainment options, including a live theatre." - Ashok Selvam
"The shopping center just south of the office building that housed Spiaggia has been struggling to find an anchor tenant to replace Macy’s, illustrating broader downtown vacancies that have compounded restaurant challenges after the pandemic." - Ashok Selvam
"I see Water Tower Place as a Chicago landmark on the Magnificent Mile: an eight-story mall renowned for its vast selection of over 100 stores that also houses a number of restaurants and entertainment options, including a live theatre, though it has recently experienced vacancies and in June lost Lettuce Entertain You ventures Foodlife and Mity Nice Bar & Grill." - Naomi Waxman
"In the Mag Mile, Water Tower Place is the shopping center whose basement housed Mity Nice and Foodlife for 27 years; I noted that crowded shopping centers don’t feel built for social distancing and that the impending lease expirations contributed to the decision not to reopen those restaurants." - Ashok Selvam
