Vernon Hills is diving headfirst into a $252 million mall transformation, with phase two approved to bring 288 apartments—including affordable options—and a $5 million interior overhaul. Centennial Real Estate is revamping the 53-year-old Hawthorn Mall with natural materials, lush greenery, better lighting, and cozy seating to turn it into a vibrant hangout spot. The redesign connects new apartments, restaurants, and retail with upgraded center court, interactive kids’ zones, and outdoor storefronts. The village is throwing in $46.5 million in incentives, betting big on this evolution to keep Vernon Hills at the top of county retail sales and revitalize the community.
