Vacant Everett Mall Village torn down

SCBJ Staff

In August, construction workers tore down the long-vacant retail buildings on the Everett Mall property’s west edge in preparation of coming changes at the shopping center.

Next will be a remodel of the main mall’s interior, General Manager Linda Johannes said.

That work will include a redesigned main entrance on the mall’s north side, though the food court just inside the entryway will remain.

Details of a proposed expansion and other changes under consideration for the county’s second-largest mall are still under wraps for now.

The two buildings at the Everett Mall Village, which have not housed many tenants in recent years, came down after less than two days’ work. Clear Creek Contractors Inc. of Everett led the demolition project.

Eventually, “new buildings will come out of the ashes of the old,” Johannes said.

What those buildings will look like is one of the things being determined as officials with the company that owns the mall, Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, meet about plans for the property.
