Are you sure it’s an Acer campestre? It looks like liquidambar to me

Sorry @Bonsai Nut, you're going to realize sweetgum is one of the weediest trees in the east, they pop up everywhere!!!
Some get super corky, while others have virtually no corking. You'll even see the two right next to each other.

I have never seen a sweetgum with corky bark... but I have to admit your ID is the correct one. I'm used to oriental sweetgums on the west coast!
