For a awhile it looked like that the 1954-vintage Bayshore Mall (Glendale, WI) would decay and die, hemmed in by I-43, a cemetery, roads and homes that prevented an expansion. But since the mall is the city’s biggest taxpayer, city officials declared eminent domain on an entire city block and paid residents and businesses $18 million to move out. Now a $200 million reconstruction is underway that will create a 400,000 s.f. Main Street-type mall, plus townhouses and condos, restaurants, offices, a theater and lots more. According to lease records, Apple will be among the tenants when the mall opens in time for this year’s holiday shopping season. The mall is about 8 miles north of Milwaukee, and also about 8 miles from the existing Mayfair in Wauwatosa, a western Milwaukee suburb.
