The project was built and managed by Ryan Development, with hopes of connecting the mall directly to Minnesota Street businesses; however, only Herberger's fully connected to the mall and served as its north anchor. Plans for another major anchor, such as JCPenney or Sears, never materialized, and the mall struggled with timing, limited tenant connections, competition from larger malls, and the decline of small retailers. Over time, stores closed one by one and the mall became increasingly vacant. It ceased retail operations in 2018 after Herberger's was liquidated, and the building sat empty for years. EBMD LLC acquired two of the three mall parcels in 2020 and the final center section in 2023. A November 2024 fire damaged the northwest section and caused smoke damage throughout the vacant building, but the structure was not reported damaged and apartment redevelopment plans continued. In 2026, New Ulm sought a DEED redevelopment grant for the site, with plans to demolish the top level and rebuild the property as an apartment building.New Ulm19802018Ryan Development; later EBMD LLCMoorhead Center MallOpened in 1973 as part of Moorhead's downtown urban renewal project, which replaced parts of the older downtown with a mall-centered redevelopment. The mall originally had 44,000 square feet and seven tenants, using a condominium ownership model in which store owners owned their spaces while the city maintained the public areas. By 2023, Roers owned more than 90% of the mall and announced that operations would cease by December 31, 2023; demolition began in 2024 and continued into 2025 as the site was redeveloped as The Loop.Moorhead1973202344,000 square feet (4,100 m²)Condominium ownership; Roers owned more than 90% by 2023Wayzata Bay CenterWayzata19672011United Properties
