“Chicago is the hometown of Carson Pirie Scott and our great customers here make it our strongest market nationwide. We have a long-term commitment to this city and the metropolitan area. This new direction will allow us to continue to deliver on our promise to all of our loyal customers and is essential for the future growth of Carson Pirie Scott.”
Joseph Freed & Associates has recently completed the restoration of the exterior and the reactivation of 400,000 square feet of upper floor space for office use.
“We have enjoyed our relationship with Carson Pirie Scott on State Street and look forward to continuing our pursuit of returning this landmark structure to its prominence,” says Larry Freed, President of Joseph Freed and Associates. “We are currently entertaining several redevelopment scenarios and we're confident we will be able to recast this historic structure back to its distinction.”

On March 6, 2006, Bon-Ton completed the acquisition of the Northern Department Store Group of Saks Incorporated (“Carson's”), making it one of the largest regional department store chains in the United States.
