Fashion Outlets of Chicago is an enclosed outlet mall located at Balmoral Avenue and I-294, one-half mile west of O'Hare International Airport, in Rosemont, Illinois. It opened on August 1, 2013. It took about $250 million to develop but contains about 150+ stores that ranges from high end stores to stores that would be in a normal, casual malls.

History
AWE Talisman and Macerich co-developed the mall, which includes outlet locations of upscale retailers such as Gucci and Giorgio Armani.[2] Grand opening ceremonies were held on August 1 through 4, 2013.[3]
It is the first fully enclosed mall to open in Chicago in over 20 years. The mall comprises 530,000 square feet, with Bloomingdale's Outlet, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth Outlet, and Forever 21 as the anchor stores.[4]
Extension
In May 2015, Macerich proposed an expansion plan to extend the Fashion Outlets of Chicago. The plan included the demolition of the Rosemont Theatre and rebuilding it elsewhere. The reason for the expansion is that in 2014, Rosemont received $13.4 million in state sales-tax revenue whereas they generally receive around $5-$6 million a year prior to the construction of the mall. They hope with the expansion of the mall, the revenue will increase as well. The plan is to expand the mall by about 300,000 square feet. Balmoral is also expanding and the construction is planned to end by October 31, 2015. The Balmoral plan is widening Mannheim Road and connecting Balmoral with Bessie Coleman Drive which is west of Mannheim near the international terminal of O’hare.[5]

In March 2015, the owner of the Fashion Outlets of Chicago announced that it was selected as the 2014 Best Factory Outlet Center in the world at the MAPIC Awards. The mall was the recipient of the ICSC’s 2014 U.S. Design and Development Gold.[6]
