Plaza del Lago

Wilmette, Illinois

Plaza del Lago is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Wilmette, IL. Situated along Sheridan Road, a thoroughfare linking Chicago with the idyllic suburban villages of the city's North Shore, the center is both highly accessible and uniquely integrated within the residential community that surrounds it. Originally built in the 1920s, it is the second-oldest outdoor shopping center in the country and is celebrated for its iconic Spanish-style architecture and picturesque lakefront setting. Acquired by WS Development in 2022, Plaza del Lago continues its legacy as a treasured community landmark, offering a refreshed mix of contemporary retailers and services.
