History
[edit]In February 2003, Tawa Development purchased the mall from Canada Life Insurance and promised renovations.[3] The opening of nearby larger Cornerstone Mall in 2003, however, causing a loss of at least three tenants.[4][5] The planned renovations were never completed, and Worthington Properties subsequently took over ownership[6] in 2006.[7] In the summer of 2007, Worthington proposed to demolish part of the mall to construct apartments or condominiums.[6]
Lender Paragon Capital Corporation Ltd. started foreclosure proceedings against the mall after suing to recover $6 million in 2008, and in April 2009, the mall was listed for judicial sale.[2][8] The initial asking price was $8 million.[9] A $4 million bid from the city in the fall of 2009 was rejected.[10] In February 2010, the mall was relisted for sale at $5 million dollars.[1][11] An offer of $4.35 million was accepted by the court in April 2010, but the proposed sale has not been completed.[1][12]
