EVERGREEN PARK, ILL. — Detroit-based Lormax Stern Development, in partnership with Tampa, Fla.-based DeBartolo Development, has acquired Evergreen Plaza Mall (The Plaza) in Evergreen Park for an undisclosed price. Built in 1952, the mall has been largely vacant since 2013, with only four stores open at the time of sale. The buyers plan to demolish the majority of the existing 800,000-square-foot mall and replace it with a 425,000-square-foot open-air retail center on the 32-acre parcel. Construction is slated for completion in 2017.
