WCPO 9
UNION TOWNSHIP, Ohio — With its long-promised revival stalled by litigation, Eastgate Mall is fading fast.
A series of store closures this year has increased the mall’s vacancy rate to 59%, according to a WCPO 9 I-Team analysis of mall space excluding anchors.
And that could further increase to 75% by next year, when three existing tenants said they plan to relocate.
“Our lease is up in March of next year and we’ll be leaving the facility,” said Jack Cary, owner of Furniture Connection, which operates an 18,000-square-foot showroom near the mall’s center court.
L.A. Nails, an Eastgate Mall tenant for more than a decade, also confirmed plans to relocate, citing a decline in foot traffic at the mall’s JCPenney wing.
