MADISON, Wis. — Demolition is slated to begin on the Boston Store in West Towne Mall, where the space will eventually be replaced with a Von Maur department store.
Site work is set to start later in the month, according to a news release from the mall’s owner, CBL Properties. As part of the redevelopment plan, Von Maur will begin from the ground-up to create a new 85,000-square-foot store expected to open in the fall of 2022.
News of the change was first announced in October 2019. The addition to the mall will be Madison’s first and only Von Maur location.
“We’re thrilled that work will soon be underway to raze the former Boston Store and further the transformation of yet another CBL property,” said Stephen Lebovitz, chief executive officer, CBL Properties. “Von Maur has been one of the most requested names by our customers with their unparalleled selection of brands and outstanding customer service. The new store will complement the upscale mix already available at West Towne Mall.”
The one-story location will have a “residential ambiance” featuring antiques, original artwork and an open-floor plan. The store will also have a live pianist who performs for customers, a Von Maur staple.
“Despite delays caused by the pandemic, we are looking forward to making progress on this and the many other projects in our redevelopment pipeline as we position our properties for future growth and success,” Lebovitz said.
Information regarding the store’s grand opening will be released further into the project’s development.
