History

The mall was once owned and managed by Simon Property Group. In 2014, the ownership of the 43-year-old mall was spun-off into a newly formed real estate investment trust, Washington Prime Group,[2] and in 2015, Washington Prime Group completed acquisition of Glimcher Realty Trust - forming WP Glimcher. In February 2016, the mall was sold to Texas-based ATR Corinth Partners.[1]

Anchors

Current anchor stores include JCPenney and Macy's (formerly Davison's). Former anchors include Kohl's and Sears. Kohl's (formerly Parisian) closed in 2016. On May 31, 2018, Sears announced that it would be closing its location here in September 2018 as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide.[3][4] In October 2019 it was announced that Emory Healthcare will occupy the former Sears building.[5] On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide which will leave Macy's as the only anchor store left.[6]

Revitalization planning

Tucker Northlake CID Master Plan Study (2015)

The Tucker-Northlake Community Improvement District (CID) completed its Master Plan for the Tucker and Northlake area in 2015 - serving as the road map for transportation improvements and land use modifications.

Northlake's regional commercial and industrial centers are to be developed into mixed use, walkable destinations.[7]
