The Shops at North Bridge

The Shops at North Bridge, once known as Westfield North Bridge, is an upscale, urban retail-entertainment district in Chicago, Illinois, located at 520 N. Michigan Avenue. Its anchor store is Nordstrom. Its name alludes first to its location within the nine-block North Bridge complex and to the literal distinction of the shopping center incorporating four-level enclosed bridges over both east Grand Ave, and north Rush Street. North Bridge also includes five hotels (three Hilton, two Marriott), three parking garages, and two office buildings, housing the American Medical Association and Euro RSCG. Upon opening, it also included a DisneyQuest "urban amusement park," since converted into a furniture store. In 2003, The Westfield Group acquired the shopping center, and renamed it "Westfield Shoppingtown North Bridge," dropping the "Shoppingtown" name in June 2005. However, The Macerich Company acquired the mall in January 2008, returning to the mall's original name, "The Shops at North Bridge." It was Macerich's first mall in Illinois. In December 2024, the owner of The Shops at North Bridge, the Alaska Permanent Fund, surrendered the retail property to its lender. The move was indicative of the fall in property values in Chicago's Magnificent Mile, as retail failed to recover following the COVID-19 pandemic.
