VERNON HILLS - Mellody Farm, a retail center at the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue and Townline Road, has added West Elm to its merchant roster.
A global design and lifestyle company, West Elm will occupy an 11,000-square-foot space at the center. West Elm, along with several other recent leases, brings the 270,000-square-foot experiential center to nearly 95-percent leased.

Over the past year, The Atworth, a 260-unit residential building that complements Mellody Farm's retail experience, has also reached the 95-percent-leased threshold.
"West Elm is a globally recognized, trendsetting brand that adds to the considerable depth and wide-ranging balance of retailers at Mellody Farm," said Matt Hendy, vice president, market officer with Mellody Farm owner/operator Regency Centers.
