Agree with Aesculus sp., and likely one with exotic influence.

Most (all?) native Aesculus sp. will have flatter smoother foliage (always palmately compound, opposite arrangement along stem). European Aesculus species like Aesculus hippocastanum and its hybrid Aesculus x carnea will have that more ruffled appearance, typically shinier foliage, maybe a bit toothier along the margins, and will have sticky terminal buds.

And, with petiolules clearly absent - that's definitely in the European Horsechestnut/hybrid camp.

Here's a few images of Aesculus hippocastanum 'Baumannii' in Louisville KY:
