UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio — After 5-years of proposing a redevelopment plan for University Square, the long-awaited project finally has a start date.
Mayor Brennan said Macy’s, Target and the city came to a final agreement on the future of the shopping center, and the bankruptcy court approved the sale of University Square to KL Holdings. “When Tops pulled out of Ohio in 2006, that began a cascading effect where every store left except for Target and Macy's,” said Brennan.“This is the perfect place to have a live, work, play center and it’s going to bring people to University Heights and lift up this city and the region,” said Brennan.
The redevelopment will begin once the deal closes after 90 days which started Monday. Shoppers said they are excited to feel safe again while shopping; they have been concerned about the lack of light and safety in the parking garages.Ray has been shopping at University Square since the shopping center opened 21 years ago.
