Retail Activity Gathering Momentum in Seven Bridges Development with New Owners

The new owners of the Main Street at Seven Bridges and their marketing team have been working to bring new business to the development. And it looks like their efforts are paying off.

Retail activity is gathering momentum at Seven Bridges, which was acquired in November 2011 by BROE Group and Starwood Capital. The companies hired Alter 360 to market the development.

Alter 360 has been aggressively marketing the site, which has resulted in the attraction of NUF; a new frozen yogurt restaurant, Cherry Creek Mortgage and most recently Jam ‘N Jelly Café  which is expected to open this fall. 

In addition to the new businesses, activity has remained strong  and Alter360 is currently negotiating with several restaurant operators and retail users such as apparel.

These new businesses will join existing businesses including Cinemark Theaters, Starbucks, Buffalo Wild Wings, Tilted Kilt, Suparossa, and many other local businesses.  Seven Bridges is host to several community events including the Season Starters Race, Trick or Treating at Seven Bridges and special events at the Seven Bridges Golf Club that draw thousands of customers from Woodridge and neighboring communities.  

In the short term the owners plan to work closely with the Village to complete various site improvements and look for opportunities to bring additional events to the area. Likewise the Village is excited to work with Seven Bridges’ newest owners.  

“We are proud of Seven Bridges ownership, and Alter360’s achievements so far at Seven Bridges, and are excited that the high standards of quality previously established will be maintained and expanded within the development,” said William Murphy, Mayor of the Village of Woodridge.

As for the future, Seven Bridges still has nearly 9 acres of vacant property that the owners will look to complete.

"We look forward to working with the new owners on further advancing the Village Board’s goal to have a high quality development at the northwest quadrant that supports a strong, diverse tax base, and contributes to the long term success of the Seven Bridges Main Street project," said Community Development Director Michael Mays.
