The owner of of the Pittsburgh Mills mall property in Frazer has acquired a new property.
Residents don’t have to leave the mall to see it. According to the Allegheny County Real Estate portal, Pitt Realty LLC, a limited liability company listed as one of the owners of the Mills and owned by Namdar Realty Group, purchased the Macy’s store attached to the mall.
Real estate records from the county show the commercial real estate investment firm purchased the more than 12 acre property for $2 million at the end of January. Macy’s, as an anchor store, owned the property for its store at the mall.
Namdar did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
The sale comes on the heels of Macy’s announcing the location is on a list of 150 locations the New York City-based company plans to shutter through this year as part of what the retailer is calling its A Bold New Chapter strategy. About 14 of the stores, including the Mills location, were expected to close in the first three months of the year.
Macy’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
With the closure, shoppers will be forced to join the online movement or drive at least 30 minutes to the Ross Park, Monroeville or Westmoreland malls to shop at a Macy’s.
Namdar has been quietly shopping the Mills property to prospective buyers for the past eight months.
An email received by some local real estate agents in June 2025 from Namdar Realty Group’s chief operating officer, Dan Dilmanian, says Namdar is “quietly exploring an off-market sale.”
According to Namdar, the mall building is 900,000 square feet. Mixed-use and warehouse uses are permitted, the company said.
There are 43 acres of excess, buildable land on the property, it claimed.
New York-based Namdar acquired the property in 2018. In 2023, Frazer initiated a sheriff’s sale on the mall, seeking $11.5 million in accrued special assessment bills, but Namdar paid that money before the sale could be held.
