CBRE’s National Retail Partners is pleased to present as the exclusive advisor, Hillcrest Shopping Center, a 253,138 square foot grocery-anchored center located in Crest Hill, IL, a southwest suburb just north of Joliet and 40 miles from downtown Chicago. The Property is anchored by Food 4 Less (a Kroger concept), and home to national tenants such as Dollar Tree, Harbor Freight Tools and Citi Trends. The Property also features a diverse mix of specialty tenants.

The Property has experienced significant leasing momentum, with the most recent example being Smoothie King signing a 10-year lease in 2025.
