Plaza Stops Redo of 860,000-SF Westland Mall

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, OH-The 40-year-old Columbus-area mall, down to 25% occupied, was supposed to get a large Menards until economic problems postponed that plan.

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, OH-A large renovation project to revitalize the troubled Westland Mall here has been put on hold, after plans to put in a large Menards store as an anchor have been postponed. The 860,000-square-foot mall, built in 1969 and enclosed in the early 1980s, has gone from 80 stores in its heyday to about 30 stores, with only anchor Sears remaining. The property is just off of Interstate 270, intersecting West Broad Street.

A spokeswoman with Plaza Properties, owner of the mall, tells GlobeSt.com that Menards leadership asked to put a signed contract for a new store at the mall on hold. She says she can’t say what would have been improved. “Menards was the catalyst for the renovation, we hadn’t gone through the entire final development process,” she says. The mall is about 25% occupied, she says.
