PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND OFFERING HIGHLIGHTS
> RENEWED INTEREST IN NORThGATE MALL > CLEAR PATH TO STABILIZATION AND A
FROM LARGE USERS
DEFINED REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
IN-PLACE
The anchor and in-line tenant base at Northgate Mall is
ideally suited for the trade area, however the vacancies
that currently exist will permit a new owner to tap into
under serviced segments of the population by creating
a more unique and relevant shopping experience. A new
owner will be able to capitalize on the current renewed
interest in Northgate Mall, as evidenced by the recently
executed 50,177 square foot lease by Famous Labels,
and continued interest in both the vacant Dillard’s building and JC Penney parcel from large retailers and theatre operators. The periphery of the Property also offers
additional development opportunities for outparcel pads
along Springdale Road and Colerain Avenue.
> CENTRAL LOCATION CAPTURES
CINCINNATI’S LARGEST TRADE AREA
Given its location at the “Crossroads of Cincinnati”,
Northgate Mall is the logical choice for shoppers north
of the Ohio River and west of I-75, encompassing both
Southwest Ohio and Southeast Indiana - a trade area of
over 500,000 in population. Additionally, Northgate Mall
benefits from having no immediate mall competition to
the north and west, with the next nearest mall being over
50 miles away in Indianapolis. The proposed improvements to Colerain Avenue will enhance the Property’s already excellent accessibility, and shoppers traveling from
these regions will continue to favor Northgate Mall as a
result of its proximity and convenience compared to its
competition. With the right marketing strategy and tenant mix, the Property can be repositioned as a shopping,
entertainment and cultural destination.

Northgate Mall does not fit into the typical distressed mall
category whereby investors question the sustainability of
the mall as a whole. Prior to the economic downturn,
the Mall was on a clear path to stabilization. A $30+ million renovation and redevelopment was in progress with
the prior ownership, which included a 14 screen stateof-the-art movie theatre complex to be built on the JC
Penney parcel. Over $8 million has already been spent on
various interior and exterior improvements. This strategy
continues to be achievable, as there is continued interest
in both the JC Penney parcel and most recently the vacant Dillard’s space. The JC Penney parcel is owned by
a related entity to the Property, and pre-liminary conversations have begun with respect to selling this parcel in
conjunction with the sale of the Property. The continued
success of the various new developments surrounding
Northgate Mall (Stone Creek Towne Center directly north
of the Property), and the Township’s support to help aid in
the transitioning of the Colerain Avenue retail corridor help
support moving forward with a redevelopment strategy.
IMPRESSIVE ALIGNMENT AND IMPROVING
> PERFORMANCE OF NATIONAL AND LOCAL
TENANTS
The in-line tenant roster consists primarily of national tenants, in addition to local/regional tenants who have been
operating at the Property for many years, and are well
supported by the local community. The strongest performing national tenants include Aeropostale, Bath and
Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, Finish Line, Foot Locker,
American Eagle Outfitters, New York & Co, and Express
to name a few. Additionally, a new lease with Famous
Labels was recently executed, taking 50,177 square feet
of space.
MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
> Local Government Committed to
Revitalizing Surrounding Area
> STRONG AND STABLE DEMOGRAPHICS
Cincinnati is one of the 25 largest MSAs in the nation,
with 2.2 million residents and is the 5th-largest MSA in
the Midwest, ranking 5th among the 10 largest Midwest
MSAs based on population growth this decade. Population growth in the Cincinnati metro has been relatively
stable. The 2000-2009 annual rate of growth was twice
as high as the rate for the Midwest region. The forecast
calls for growth at a 0.6 percent annual average rate over
the next five years, with the expected addition of another
63,000 residents by 2015. About 140,000 people live
within a 10-minute drive of Northgate Mall and an additional 420,000 people live within a 20-minute drive.
Northgate Mall benefits from being located at the nexus
of the Colerain Township retail corridor. Over the past
several years, the Township has implemented several
programs to improve Colerain Avenue’s retail corridor
and help promote it as the premier shopping destination for the Western half of the Cincinnati metro. This
includes the use of TIF financing for roadway improvements and aesthetic upgrades, and other financial incentives to promote the re-development of various
commercial buildings. Future plans call for a streetscape
atmosphere to be created with the entranceway beginning at the Northwestern corner of the Property. Local
officials acknowledge Northgate Mall is a key piece to
successfully achieving their plan, and as such, a new
owner will be able to capitalize on the Township’s support and desire to execute a revitalization plan.
