CENTER TWP. — For almost two years, Macy's — one of the Beaver Valley Mall's anchor stores — sat empty, a darkened shell from its days as a bustling shopping destination.

CBRE, a Fortune 500 real estate company headquartered in Los Angeles, announced Thursday plans to redevelop the former department store into The Shops at Beaver Valley Mall, which will include about 50,000 square feet of retail, office and service space with mall access available in various sizes.

According to a CBRE press release, there will be nearly 27,000 square feet of retail space facing Brodhead Road. The Shops at Beaver Valley Mall will join other anchor tenants, such as JCPenney, Dick's Sporting Goods, U-Haul, Rural King, Planet Fitness and Boscov's.

Robert Gold, first vice president of CBRE who is representing the property along with Michelle Stewart, vice president, said the company is "exploring leasing options that will work for any business."

"With a population of 64,941 within five miles and an average household income of $69,727, The Shops at Beaver Valley Mall offer an opportunity for revitalization — the chance to evolve the shopping center into a destination that meets the needs of the community at large," Gold said in a statement.

CBRE Group Inc. is one of the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firms, with employees numbering more than 90,000.
