Steeplegate Mall Stores Told to Leave in January

Stores without long-term leases at Steeplegate Mall have received notice that they must leave by the end of January, the latest step in a plan to turn the site into a large mixed-use development.

Things are likely different for JC Penney, the Zoo Health Club and Altitude Trampoline Park, which have long-term contracts.

Initial plans for the development presented by Onyx Partners of Needham, Mass., keep those three on the site amid five residential buildings that would hold 625 apartments.
