The owner of Charlottesville Fashion Square is less sure of the mall’s viability.

According to Washington Prime Group’s 2018 fourth-quarter report, Fashion Square is marked to be reclassified from a Tier II property to a non-core property in 2019.

Many former Washington Prime properties that previously were identified as non-core were ultimately transferred to a lender or sold.

The mall previously had been considered one of the company’s viable enclosed retail properties with lower productivity and modest growth profiles, according to the report. Tier I enclosed retail properties generally have higher occupancy, sales productivity and growth profiles.

“Washington Prime Group, the parent company of Charlottesville Fashion Square, has no plans to close or sell the mall at this time,” the mall’s general manager, Karen Weiner, said.

In the fourth-quarter earnings conference call, the company said that 90 percent of its total net operating income is attributable to its Tier I and “open air” properties, and Tier II and noncore assets will be excluded from core operating metrics as of first quarter 2019.
