Next big step for Hawthorn Mall property redevelopment is waiting for green light to proceed

The next big step in the ongoing transformation of the Hawthorn mall property in Vernon Hills appears ready to proceed. Developers are seeking approvals for the second phase of the $252 million redevelopment, a venture between Focus, Affinius, Atlantic Residential, and mall owner Centennial Real Estate.
