Rogers Plaza Has New Owners!

West Michigan's original and oldest enclosed mall--Rogers Plaza--has new owners! The oft-troubled mall is now owned by Sun Valley Ltd., a San Antonio, Texas real estate firm. The mall has had a few years of decline but has rebounded nicely, so Sun Valley thought it was a good investment.

Although the Big Boy recently closed, the mall is stable and is %75 full. The mall, which opened "in the early 60's" has been profitable for a number of years. There's a fine story from MLive/Press here: West Michigan's oldest shopping mall has new owners

Mall walkers and shoppers celebrate! The supporters of the Walker area renewal can breathe easy, now that the mall is going to be around. Good for the local economy.
