Milwaukee officials issue condemnation order against former Northridge Mall to help spur redevelopment


The city is bringing a condemnation case against the former Northridge Mall — an effort to eventually redevelop the long-closed property on Milwaukee`s far northwest side.

An order from the Department of Neighborhood Services, posted Thursday, demands the mall`s owners, a Chinese investors group, demolish the 900,000-square-foot building because it`s dilapidated and a threat to public safety.

That could lead the city itself to demolish the former mall, which closed in 2003, and then bill the cost to the property owner: U.S. Black Spruce Enterprise Group Inc.

Once demolished, the land beneath the the building and its parking lots, north of West Brown Deer Road and west of North 76th Street, could be used for light industrial buildings, housing or other new developments.
