Building A Hilldale

Ownership

The shopping center was purchased by Massachusetts-based WS Development in May 2012. WS Development is a large national developer and property manager, making this a corporate-chain/corporate-owned property.

Local Sourcing

The mall hosts predominantly national chains (Apple, lululemon, Macy's, Anthropologie, Shake Shack) with some local boutiques. Most retail sourcing flows through national supply chains rather than local suppliers.

Community Involvement

WS Development has emphasized community engagement and staying relevant to Madison, with their vision informed by input from local residents. The center hosts community events but community investment appears occasional rather than deeply embedded.

Local Workforce

No direct information available about Hilldale's employment practices, wages, or tenure. Most employees likely work for individual retail tenants rather than the mall management, making assessment difficult.

Revenue Retention

Revenue primarily flows to WS Development (Massachusetts-based parent company) and national retail chains. Local businesses like Morgan's Shoes and independent restaurants capture some revenue, but the majority leaves the community.

Local Presence

No website available to analyze.
