CONNECTION | PRESERVATION | COMMUNITY

A vibrant mixed-use neighborhood lifestyle center in Old Litchfield park.

Boutique retail, wellness, and events — all in a reimagined 1970s church site.

The Project

"Honor The Past"

The first building on this site went up in 1976 for the St. Thomas Aquinas parish. The parish had outgrown its original Mission Church, built in 1925 and named in honor of Tom Doyle and his early contributions to Litchfield Park. St. Thomas Aquinas was dedicated on February 23, 1986, with Bishop Thomas O'Brien and Father Tom Hever officiating.

That history isn't decoration — it's the foundation. The original cornerstone still sits on site, and the stained glass artwork now installed on the exterior turns the building's past into its most visible feature.

"The Thomas"

The Thomas is a neighborhood lifestyle center built on a redeveloped 1970s historic church site — three existing buildings, one adaptive reuse project. The main auditorium now houses the Litchfield Park Arts Center, a performance and event venue for up to five hundred guests. The adjacent buildings hold office, retail, and restaurant space.

It's located right off Indian School Road at 447 South Old Litchfield Road in Litchfield Park.

What's Here Now

Litchfield Park Arts Center — weddings, theater, corporate events, and comedy nights in the main auditorium
Wellness and beauty — Pilates studio, hair salons, med spas, and more
Coming soon — a coffee concept opening late October, plus a fourth building planned for a restaurant concept
Worship partners — Redeeming Grace Church continue holding Sunday services on site

Women-Owned Businesses

The Thomas is home to ten (10) women-owned businesses — a deliberate choice to build a community of local entrepreneurs, not just fill suites.
