Once a bustling anchor for Southridge Mall in the Milwaukee suburb of Greendale, the Boston Store was woven into the community’s rhythm. Its closure in 2018 was not just a loss for the local area; it reflected a broader wave of change rippling across the retail landscape nationwide. Now, KTGY, in partnership with Barrett Lo Visionary Development, is turning this change into an opportunity to breathe new life into the area, transforming the mall’s footprint into a vibrant mixed-use destination. Our vision? Revitalize the community hub by incorporating luxury residences, modern retail experiences and opportunities for outdoor events like farmers’ markets, craft fairs and more. "We approached this project with a focus on creating a central 'heart' that not only connects the new residential spaces but also ties into the existing fabric of the community. We’re crafting an inviting environment that encourages interaction and draws people back to experience it time and time again." — Craig Pryde, Principal, KTGY Read more from Craig Pryde and Multi-Housing News here: https://lnkd.in/e4nGATkj #SouthridgeMallTransformation #MixedUseDevelopment #UrbanRenewal #RetailTransformation #Architecture #RealEstateDevelopment #CommunityRevitalization
