### The Glen Town Center

The Glen Town Center is mixed use development located in Glenview, Illinois, just north of Chicago. The mixed-use development features 1,150,000 square feet of retail shops, entertainment venues and restaurants in pedestrian-friendly setting. A 160,000-square- foot Von Maur department store and 10-screen Landmark movie theatre (formerly owned by Arclight Cinemas) anchor the retail portion of the Glen Town Center. Other featured tenants include Dick's Sporting Goods, Jos. A. Bank, Carter's, and ULTA, among others. Navy Park, the Glen's version of a town square, is located in the center of the community. Atop the Glen Town Center is a 300-unit apartment community.
To develop the project, OliverMcMillan bought 45 acres from the village of Glenview for $38.6 million. The developer only paid $21.6 million up front, with an agreement that the rest would come from revenue that it would share with the village if profits hit a certain threshold. That target was never reached, leaving $17 million outstanding from the original purchase price.
After not paying a loan payment since July 2009, OliverMcMillan lost the project in a $55.6 million foreclosure suit.
