Redevelopment Plan For Pittsburgh Mall Site Emerges

PITTSBURGH, PA — A redevelopment plan has emerged for the former Century III Mall, the vast West Mifflin building whose demolition appears as though it will be completed soon.

A pamphlet seeking to lure redevelopers circulating online lists the property as having nearly 90 acres of property available for repurposing. The pamphlet was prepared by Atlantic Realty, apparently working in tandem with an entity known as Brightside CRE and Moonbeam Leasing & Management.

Moonbeam owns the mall property has been vociferously criticized for letting the mall lose the overwhelming amount of its and letting the mall deteriorate to the point where it had to be razed.

Though plans in the pamphlet are preliminary at best, they envision at least 10 individual parcels of land to be available suitable for:

• Retail- Anchor/Big Box- Junior Anchor- Shop Development
• Food & Beverage Outparcels
• Hospitality / Hotel
• Medical Office

Once one of the largest malls in the world, Century III's interior closed in 2019. J.C. Penney, which had an exterior entrance, was the mall's last remaining store; it went out of business in 2020.
