Sears Will Give Way to Entertainment Venue at Ohio Mall
Washington Prime Group formed a partnership with the DeBartolo-York family to design a new four-acre athletic and entertainment green space and event venue to be named DeBartolo Commons at Southern Park Mall in Boardman Township, OH, within the Youngstown metro area. It will be built on the site of a former Sears store, which is being demolished.
Formation of the partnership coincides with the launch of a major renovation of Southern Park Mall, which was developed by the DeBartolo Corporation. The renovation will coincide with the property’s 50th anniversary in 2020.
“The redevelopment underway at Southern Park Mall brings with it new opportunities for the community,” said Larry Moliterno, Boardman Township trustee. “The Township as a whole benefits anytime we see redevelopment with job growth, new construction standards such as green space and stormwater retention, and, in this case, a sense of place developed in the center of the township.”
