Commission to Consider Lavonia Mall Redevelopment Plan
July 3, 2008

With most of Livonia Mall's tenants having negotiated lease terminations, the road has been paved for a massive remake of the shopping center just outside of Detroit, Mich., and the Livonia Planning Commission intends to give the plan the once-over on July 15, according to Crain's Detroit Business. Livonia Phoenix L.L.C.--a team consisting of Konover South, Grand Sakwa Properties and Lormax Stern Development Co.,--acquired the 46-year-old enclosed mall in May. Site plans for the project detail 320,000 square feet of retail space divided among several structures surrounded by green space and walkways. If the Planning Commission, which is scheduled to vote on the project July 22, gives the green light, Livonia Phoenix will then seek the approval of the Livonia City Council.
