  • Landover Regional Shopping Center: the Perceptions and Realities That Caused a Mall to Fall
    Landover Regional Shopping Center: The Perceptions and Realities that Caused a Mall to Fall A Senior Thesis Submitted to the Growth and Structure of Cities Department of Bryn Mawr College December, 2006 Alexis Leventhal Class of 2007 Haverford College Abstract Built in 1972, the Landover Regional Shopping Center, located Southeast of Washington, D.C. in Prince George’s County, Maryland, was once the archetypal suburban shopping mall for the Washington, D.C. area. With four anchor stores, 1.3 million square feet, and a convenient location directly off the newly completed Capital Beltway, Landover mall was a retail force to be reckoned with. Filled with modern day amenities and high-end retailers, Landover mall was venerated by shoppers and envied by neighboring malls. By the mid-1980s, however, this image of Landover was replaced by a much darker one. Landover had lost much of its appeal as the structure was neglected and its high-end retailers moved out. By 2002, the mall had closed and was demolished a few years later. The transformation of Landover from a boom to a bust seemed to take place almost over night. But how was this possible? And why did it happen? The answer lies in another transformation that was taking place in the mall’s surrounding area: the composition of the county’s population from majority white to majority black. The coinciding of the changing population and the deterioration of Landover mall is no coincidence. This was due to strong, negative perceptions of African Americans and, in turn, the areas in which they live.

  • The Battle Over White Flint Mall
    From the Washington Business Journal :http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/print­edition/2015/05/08/the­battle­ over­white­flint­mall.html Real Estate Inc. Extra The battle over White Flint Mall SUBSCRIBER CONTENT: May 8, 2015, 6:00am EDT Updated: May 8, 2015, 9:45am EDT Daniel J. Sernovitz Staff Reporter­ Washington Business Journal Email | Twitter All across America you can find them, the dead and dying vestiges of a bygone era, with their seas of asphalt parking lots, their Muzak elevator music, their food courts and legacy retailers. Enclosed shopping malls are suffering, leaving only the biggest and best to survive. White Flint Mall in Montgomery County is indisputably among the dead. A solitary Lord & Taylor is all that remains after co­anchor Bloomingdale’s closed, its store demolished in 2012. More than 100 other tenants followed suit, opting to let their leases expire or accepting cash payouts to close early. Construction fences now envelop the vast majority of the site, blocking access to most of its empty parking garages, and the mall’s pylon sign along Rockville Pike, which once featured seven of its most popular stores, advertises only one. But the cause for the demise of this particular vintage mall, which opened in 1977 and was at one time one of the D.C. region’s premier retail destinations, can be summed up in a single word. Greed. Just whose greed is the subject of a multimillion­dollar lawsuit playing out in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt since July 2013. White Flint says Lord & Taylor is the greedy party for suing to stop the mall’s redevelopment into a bustling town center, alleging the department store is waiting until White Flint caves and cuts it a check to move forward with the project.
