Overview
- City leaders marked the completion with an Oct. 29 ceremony at the 58-acre property near 76th Street and Brown Deer Road.
- A public input process is underway now, and the city plans to market the site for sale next year.
- Officials ruled out storage facilities and are considering proposals such as housing, advanced manufacturing, a sports venue or a health care campus.
- The city gained control after a foreclosure ruling, took ownership in January 2024, and used $15 million in federal pandemic relief funds to support demolition.
- Repeated fires and safety risks accelerated the push to raze the mall, while residents now call for affordable housing, grocery access and park space; parts of the site already host Menards, Pick ’n Save and Foot Locker.
