Virginia Developer Expected to Acquire Pittsburgh Mills Mall
What happened
Macy's closed its last anchor store at Pittsburgh Mills in April. In recent years, large retailers such as Dick's Sporting Goods, Bath and Body Works, and JCPenney have also exited the mall. Comstock Holding, a developer based in Virginia, is expected to purchase the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills. The deal is still pending finalization, but Comstock plans to present a redevelopment vision to the Frazer Township Board in the first half of 2027.
