Summary, model-written
Redlands Mall opened in 1977 and closed in 2010. After several ownership changes and redevelopment attempts, demolition was announced and work began the week of March 16, 2026. The site was sold to Town Square Development LLC in 2025 for $16 million.
Why. The record does not explicitly state why the mall closed; it notes the loss of anchors CVS Pharmacy and Gottschalks but gives no further cause.
Where it stands. As of the record, the mall is demolished with demolition underway, and control lies with Town Square Development LLC following its 2025 purchase.
For a planner
- Precedent: Brixton Capital’s 2014 mixed‑use redevelopment attempt and Village Partners’ 2020 State Street Village plans.
- Policy tools used: city entitlement approval in 2022, sale of municipal parking lot to Brixton in 2017, and council approval of Village Partners’ plans.
- Open questions: final build‑out after demolition, financing for Town Square Development’s intended use, and compliance with any remaining approvals.
For a developer
- Site size: 12 acres with 173,000 sf GLA and a floor‑area ratio of 0.33.
- Control: currently held by Town Square Development LLC after the 2025 $16 million sale; entitlements were approved in 2022.
- Constraints: the record provides no flood, transit, or environmental context layers; only yield metrics (GLA per acre ≈ 14,417, FAR 0.33) are available.
- Market signals: median rent cited at $1,706 and the opportunity score is 0.0, indicating limited perceived upside due to the site already being in play.
What we do not know yet
- Cause of closure is not stated in the record.
- Environmental, flood, or transit constraints are missing from the context layers.
- Exact timeline and progress of demolition work are not detailed beyond the announced start date.
- Future use planned by Town Square Development LLC is unspecified in the sale notes.
- Financial details of Village Partners’ loan default and the status of any liens are not provided.
