Big Beaver Plaza to be restored; new tenants on the horizon BIG BEAVER — New owners of a once-busy shopping center are restoring the hub for commercial use. Big Beaver Plaza off Route 18 has struggled to retain retail business since the 1990s, slowly falling into disrepair as a variety of tenants closed up shop. A new company called Beaver Strip LLC, affiliated with New Castle-based Wish Development, purchased the 30-acre site in 2019 from Salieri Group Inc for more than $1.02 million, according to Beaver County property records. Company representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Local officials and former property owners say the plaza never fully rebounded after a devastating tornado in 1985; it was rebuilt at three-quarters its original size two years after the storm.
