Richmond Heights, OH – (PR Newswire) July 22, 2021, DealPoint Merrill is pleased to announce the acquisition of the remainder of the former Richmond Town Square regional mall located at the northeast corner of Richmond and Wilson Mills Roads, Cleveland, Ohio. Built in 1966, it was once considered the largest enclosed shopping mall in Ohio with over 90 stores until its eventual closure in 2021.
This acquisition completes the purchase of the mall, south of the former Sears and Macy’s Department Stores and extends the 33 acres owned by DealPoint Merrill to 69 acres. This acquisition clears the way for the development of Belle Oaks Marketplace – a $200 million mixed use, multi-family development to be built on the site of the former mall.
The 160,000 square foot climate controlled self-storage building operated by Life Storage at the Mall and owned by DealPoint Merrill will remain open during construction and will continue to serve as an additional amenity for the surrounding residents, as well, as the residents of the Belle Oaks luxury apartments when completed. Construction is expected to commence 1st quarter 2022.
Thoughtfully designed, Belle Oaks Marketplace will be the pre-eminent mixed-use development in the region with an amenity rich “campus” environment providing residents with “best in class” urban living concepts supplanted by next generation retail and recreational amenities.
Upon completion, Belle Oaks, is expected to include 1,617,800 square feet of restaurants, retail, grocery, and a new, multi-family community. The 69-acre site will be a pedestrian-friendly environment with a walkable street grid surrounding a $10 million landscaping plan that includes lush greenspaces and best-in-class recreational amenities. Once fully envisioned, the project will consist of 40,000 square feet of restaurants, an outdoor community entertainment venue, 791 Class-A luxury apartment units, 315,000 square feet of grocery and retail stores, together with an 80,000 square foot renovated Regal Cinema theater complex – all curated to provide an unmatched living experience.
