Crow Holdings Capital dropped $44 million last Monday on The Overlook at Oak Brook, the seven-building retail campus sitting right across from Oakbrook Center. The deal hands the firm control of a newly built, nearly fully leased suburban shopping cluster that opened in 2023 and is stacked with national restaurant, education, and medical tenants.
Documents and local records list a Crow Holdings fund as the buyer and MetLife Investment Management as the seller, with the transaction recorded in DuPage County at a price of $44 million, according to Crain’s Chicago Business.
