Reporter a pair of Real Estate Development companies have purchased the long foreclosed mall from the bank that had repossessed it. The mayor is pleased with the developers aggressive plans. The piece of property out there is much bigger than the malls need to be these days. They are going in a direction that a lot of these are going to around the country to the mixeduse project. Reporter what is advantageous about the hilltop is that it is enormous with 77 acres, the sides of 58 full football fields including the end zone. Just as important, it is close to the central bay area, meaning the housing will be extraordinarily helpful. Reporter initially they planned on revitalizing the mall and they had a good base to start with with the three anchor tenants, the well attended walmart, macys and not on the chopping block, and the sears that proudly states it is not going anywhere. We had the foresight to change the general plan of the zoning to basically allow everything they are talking about doing. Reporter that includes the possibility of building as many as 96 new homes built on this vast property. For me personally i would rather they fix the mall and do something about it. It is very convenient for the people that lived there, especially the walmart. The mayor says there will be some resistance to the new housing. Reporter the mayor expects the project will eventually be built out because richmond has shortages in each and every housing a category from the apartments, portable ownership, market rate, and the highend homes. For us it is exciting to see someone taking ownership, that is prepared to invest in it and turn it around.
