Local Context

Site Work Considerations for Oak Brook Properties

Oak Brook hosts more Fortune 500 headquarters per square mile than almost anywhere in Illinois — McDonald's, Ace Hardware, and Midway Airlines have all called it home. Oakbrook Center and the 22nd Street Class A office corridor demand exterior presentation that reflects the brands operating inside.

Property types we serve: Fortune 500 corporate headquarters, Class A office towers, luxury and lifestyle retail centers, private country club and golf facilities, upscale HOA communities

Seasonal note: Grounds appearance is a direct reflection of tenant brand at Oak Brook's headquarters campuses. Snow must vanish before executives arrive, and landscape must be maintained to near-resort standards — clients here fire vendors for a single bad storm or an overgrown entry planting.
