Transforming Legacy Office Real Estate into a Vibrant Retail Destination
Before Oak Brook Promenade became one of Chicagoland’s premier retail destinations, a principal of Build Holding Company identified untapped potential in a cluster of outdated office buildings along a high-traffic commercial corridor in Oak Brook, IL. Recognizing the site’s strategic location, adjacent to a central retail hub—BHC’s principal acquired the properties, deleased the existing tenants, and cleared the path for a transformative, large-scale redevelopment.

Oak Brook Promenade Project Outcome
Build Holding Company’s principal orchestrated a complete redevelopment—from entitlements and site clearance to vertical construction, lease-up, and sale—creating a lifestyle retail center that continues to anchor the area. The project attracted national brands and specialty retailers and catalyzed surrounding development, elevating the corridor’s long-term commercial value and setting a benchmark for suburban placemaking.
“We envisioned more than redevelopment—we saw a catalyst for regional growth. Through bold repositioning, we transformed underutilized space into a vibrant destination that continues to elevate the entire corridor.”
