ORLAND HILLS, IL — Orland Towne Center at the corner of West 159th Street and 94th Avenue was sold earlier this month to California-based Sperry Equities, officials told Patch.

The shopping center contains Aldi, Edge Fitness, Five Below and PetSmart in addition to a medical center. The 138,000-square-foot property required Sperry Equities to take out a loan for over $14.6 million. Sperry Equities bought the property from CRBE Group Inc. and will be required to pay back the multimillion mortgage loan within 10 years.

According to village officials, the center was built in 1993 and renovated in 2011.

With former owners out, village officials could appeal to Sperry Equities to let Sam's Triple Crown, a restaurant and betting parlor, into the center. Under CRBE Group, gambling was not allowed with the property.
