May 23, 2021 12:13 AM A tale of 2 malls: Partridge Creek is in trouble, Village of Rochester Hills isn't. What's the difference? Top: Larry Peplin for Crain's Detroit Business; Above: CoStar Group Inc. At top, the Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township. Above, the Village of Rochester Hills is at Adams Road and Walton Boulevard. It was developed in 2002. A pair of open-air shopping centers not so far apart are facing different fates. The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township is looking down the barrel of receivership after its Miami Beach, Fla.-based owners defaulted on a $725 million mortgage, buckling under the weight of massive debt, the COVID-19 pandemic and e-commerce.
