Revival of mall in works for city
By Latisha R. Gray, The Daily Reflector
Longtime patrons of the Carolina East Mall remember elbow-to-elbow shopping when the venue was one of Greenville's hottest retail spots.
Now, the mall is a mere shadow of its former self, with a number of vacant stores and limited customers. What was once the "place to be," according to some customers, is now a ghost town.
An Ohio-based real estate development company looks to bring back the mall's heydays. Bear Creek Capital Co. is expected to purchase Carolina East on June 6, a spokesman said. The deal has been under way for some time. Bear Creek plans to build several freestanding retail stores and a theater and then demolish the old building. Construction should start after the Christmas holidays, Matt Daniels said.

Robyn Schwartz’s Commentary:
User submitted Nov 2008Update on the mall- when we moved to Greenville in 2006 the mall was a derelict... Sears, a cafeteria restaurant and an eye wear center,and not much else. Developer who bought the site moved everyone but Sears out, demolished the rest of the mall and spruced up the Sears facade. It's now a stand alone entity. At the same time they built a new Kohl's (long live the stand alone big-box stores) and a small strip with Fresh Foods (just opened 10/29/09) and a (rumored) Marshalls in progress. The rest of the large site is still available, rumors fly about what is coming, I know we all have our wish list (Trader Joe's, are you reading this?), it will probably be another chain resturant, if it is, let it be The Cheesecake factory!
Jeremy Jordan’s Commentary:
User submitted May 2007Carolina East Mall has been demolished with the exception of Sears which was one of the mall's two anchors and is still open for business and will be incorporated into the new retail development. Redevelopment is underway with site work progressing and the "shell" of a new Kohl's store already completed. The new development is to be called "11 Galleria".
Shawn’s Commentary:
User submitted Jan 2007The company that was suppose to tear down this mall did nothing. They got into a lawsuit with the original owners. So now it is being developed by Brody Co. They have torn down the Belk, which closed more than a year ago. Sears will stay. Phase one will be to develop the area that Belk was on. I guess the next phase would be the remainder of the mall.
