PMAT Acquires 82,660 SF Shops of Romeoville in Suburban Chicago

ROMEOVILLE, ILL. — The PMAT Cos. has acquired the Shops of Romeoville, an 82,660-square-foot retail center in the Chicago suburb of Romeoville. The purchase price was undisclosed. Tenants include TJ Maxx, Petco and Discovery Clothing. The lender-owned property had significant remaining instability and was 65 percent occupied with several month-to-month and short-term leases at the time of acquisition, according to PMAT. Within months of closing, PMAT renewed existing anchor tenancy and executed a new long-term lease with Ross Dress for Less. PMAT also worked with the Village of Romeoville to structure incentives to attract the right tenant mix for the remaining gaps. PMAT plans to reinvest in the site in conjunction with the village and to work with the existing retailers to achieve long-term commitments while bringing in new tenants.
