CINCINNATI — The 1.5 million-square-foot shopping mall previously known as Cincinnati Mills has been acquired by a group of investors led by Whichard Real Estate, and the name has been changed to Cincinnati Mall. The new ownership group, which also serves as the property asset manager, acquired the mall from Simon Property Group at the end of 2008. Cincinnati Mall is anchored by Bass Pro Shops, Kohl’s, Burlington Coat Factory, Babies ‘R’ Us, Off 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet and two multi-screen cinemas. The mall, which is located in the northern suburbs of Fairfield and Forest Park, Ohio, is the largest in the Cincinnati area.
