Northlake Mall (Atlanta)


Northlake Mall is a shopping mall northeast of Atlanta in the Northlake community of northern DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. The mall was once owned and managed by Simon Property Group - but since February 2016 has been owned by Texas-based ATR Corinth Partners. Anchor stores include JCPenney and Macy's.

History

The mall was once owned and managed by Simon Property Group. In 2014, the ownership of the 43-year-old mall was spun-off into a newly formed real estate investment trust, Washington Prime Group, and in 2015, Washington Prime Group completed acquisition of Glimcher Realty Trust - forming WP Glimcher. In February 2016, the mall was sold to Texas-based ATR Corinth Partners.

Anchors

Current anchor stores include JCPenney and Macy's. Former anchors include Kohl's and Sears. Kohl's closed in 2016. On May 31, 2018, Sears announced that it would be closing its location here in September 2018 as part of a plan to close 72 stores nationwide. In October 2019 it was announced that Emory Healthcare will occupy the former Sears building. On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide which will leave Macy's as the only anchor store left.
