Wilmette, Ill. — Wayfair has opened a 150,000-square-foot store at Edens Plaza in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette. Situated within a space formerly occupied by the Carson Pirie Scott department store, this marks the first brick-and-mortar store for the digitally native home-merchandise brand. In addition to furniture, home décor, housewares, appliances and home improvement products, the store features a restaurant, dubbed The Porch. JT Magen served as the construction manager for the property renovation, which included an exterior expansion of 110,000 square feet to include a plaza, new parking lot, landscaping and an outdoor dining area for The Porch. WS Development is the landlord of Edens Plaza, which totals 343,000 square feet.
