BESSEMER, ALA. — Range Light Investment Partners has acquired the former Mall at Westlake, a 323,000-square-foot shopping and dining destination located southwest of Birmingham in Bessemer, Ala. The Ohio-based investment firm plans to redevelop the property into an industrial flex complex that will be known as Marvel City Business Park.
