Developer plans to demolish Metrocenter Mall soon
It will need to be done in steps, he said, because the mall was built when asbestos was common in building materials. Crews will remove asbestos first and demolish “as we go,” Betts said. Including demolition, the redevelopment is expected to cost about $850 million.
The site will then be graded to make way for the new development. Betts estimates demolition and grading will take about 10 months.
Betts said the team has also begun negotiations with potential users for some of the sites, such as apartment developers or other businesses interested in having a location in the development. Those conversations couldn’t begin until the development team knew they were moving ahead with demolition.
