CHICAGO-An agreement between the city and Mid-America Asset Management, overseeing the $110-million redevelopment of the Brickyard Mall at Diversey and Narragansett avenues, has been signed, more than 100 citizens were told Thursday night. Alderman William J.P. Banks says it is “the largest redevelopment of a commercial structure anywhere in America.”

At a Galewood-Montclare Community Organization meeting two blocks west of the 880,000-sf mall, which is 80% vacant, Mid-America Asset Management partner Michael George promises a new mall that will be smaller, yet 100% occupied by major retailers, when it reopens in late 2004.
