Renaissance Place and City seek use for former Saks

Highland Park, Ill. — Executives with Renaissance Place are working with officials from the City of Highland Park, Ill., to identify the best use for a 49,000-sq.-ft. building that Saks vacated at the close of 2012.



One possible use is healthcare, which may involve interventional cardiology, MRI/radiology and other outpatient services. The Renaissance Place team is also considering national, regional and local retailers.



Uses that have been ruled out include boutique hotel, residential, art center and not-for-profit entity. None of these possibilities is considered economically practical.
