Vinegar Hill Mall is a historic, mixed-use retail and restaurant destination located in the heart of downtown Springfield, Illinois. Originally constructed in 1908 as a commercial laundry facility, the building has undergone multiple transformative reinventions, preserving its architectural character while adapting to modern retail and hospitality uses.

In the early 1980s, the property was reimagined as Vinegar Hill Mall—introducing a unique indoor retail and dining concept to the Springfield market. In October 2021, Conn’s Hospitality Group acquired Vinegar Hill Mall along with the adjacent Baur’s Steakhouse, initiating a comprehensive revitalization of both properties. This new chapter brought renewed energy and curated tenancy to the site.

The revitalization efforts culminated in the October 2023 opening of Trish & Mary’s Public House, an English-style pub that has quickly become a downtown gathering place. In April 2024, Wm. Van’s Cafe relocated to the mall, further enhancing daily foot traffic and reinforcing the property as a community hub.

Today, Vinegar Hill Mall presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant, repositioned downtown asset with multiple leasing configurations available. Spaces range from boutique retail suites to large-format restaurant and atrium opportunities, allowing for flexible tenant mix and value-add leasing upside.
