FOCUS: New owners to redevelop Mall Corners Shopping Center

Staff Reports

DULUTH, Ga. | Gwinnett’s Mall Corners shopping center is embarking on a new chapter, as it has been purchased by the partnership of Ben Thanh Mall LLC and JV Gwinnett Development LLC. The firm, NDIMAXIM Commercial of Duluth, played a pivotal role in brokering the acquisition of the iconic property.

Located at 2131 Pleasant Hill Road at the intersection of Satellite Boulevard, the Mall Corners Shopping Center was originally developed by Glenwood Lotz and partners. The 30-acre shopping center, directly across Pleasant Hill Road from the former Gwinnett Place Mall, consists of  300,000 square feet of retail space.

Mall Corners, once home to renowned brands like Toys “R” Us and HHGregg, currently hosts a variety of tenants, such as K&G Fashion, Hansel and Gretel, CitiTrends and Furniture Mall. Under the new ownership, plans are underway to redevelop the property. 

JV Gwinnett Development, LLC, an experienced supermarket operator with retail locations across metro Atlanta, intends to transform the Mall Corners shopping plaza through a series of renovations and new developments. That includes rebuilding the former HHGregg space into a 55,000-square-foot modern Asian fusion supermarket. This redevelopment aims to project Mall Corners with fresh energy and appeal, featuring modern amenities and spaces designed to attract and engage the younger generation. 

The re-imagined Mall Corners will move away from the traditional “mall parking” atmosphere, by creating a cozy, walkable, and festive environment. The new design will incorporate light, floral, and water elements to create an inviting ambiance for visitors. The new owners will implement seasonal themes and attractions to ensure a dynamic and engaging experience year-round.

The revamped shopping center will cater to all five senses, featuring:

  • Themes: Distinctive array of presentations will change often.
  • Landscaping: A visually stunning environment with thoughtfully curated decorations.
  • Live Entertainment: Music performances and visually captivating shows to delight audiences.
  • Street-Style Food Hall: A culinary destination offering mouthwatering, authentic street-style cuisine.
  • Family-Friendly Amenities: Attractions to entertain both parents and children.

The vision is to make Mall Corners not just a shopping destination but a vibrant community hub. The new owners and NDIMAXIM Management plan to collaborate with tourism agencies to attract visitors and create memorable experiences. 

As this transformation unfolds, Mall Corners is poised to become a family-friendly destination, blending entertainment, shopping, and dining into one cohesive and festive experience.
