HOLLAND, MI-Howard & Mills Inc. chief executive officer Geoff Mills expects it will take six to eight months to revive the ailing Westshore Mall, the 415,804-sf retail center his company recently purchased from LaSalle Bank National Association. In a transaction that closed Nov. 8, Howard & Mills bought the 415,804-sf retail center here for $13.95 million. The buyer initially plans to pump $3 million into Westshore, which was built in 1988 and is about 67% occupied.

“Our job is to take it and bring it back to where it used to be,” Mills tells GlobeSt.com. The first round of improvements includes new signs and asphalt, and prepping vacant space so that it can be turned over quickly as new tenants sign leases.
