Lakeview Square Mall is an enclosed shopping mall serving the city of Battle Creek, Michigan. It opened in 1983 and features three anchor stores: JCPenney, Macy's and Sears. The mall is managed by GK Development.
History
Sidney Forbes and Maurice Cohen, owners of Forbes/Cohen Properties, opened Lakeview Square on May 15, 1983.[2] More than 10,000 people were present at the mall's opening ceremony.[3] It was first proposed in 1978, but development was delayed by a homeowners' association lawsuit.[4] When it opened, the mall featured three anchor stores: J.C. Penney, Sears and Hudson's (which became Marshall Field's in 2001 and Macy's in 2006).[4] General Growth Properties bought the mall, along with Westwood Mall and Lansing Mall, from Forbes/Cohen in 1998.[5]
Dunham's Sports also opened a store at the mall in 2006, relocating from a nearby plaza.[6] Steve & Barry's opened a store at the mall in 2007, replacing a space that had been previously occupied by Old Navy. The Steve & Barry's went out of business during the company's bankruptcy in 2008.[7][8]
The mall was sold to Cushman & Wakefield in 2011,[9] and again to GK Development in 2013.[10]
