When NORTHLAND was enclosed in the 1970s, the "Bear & Boy" statue seen above was moved inside. It was relocated to the Southfield Public Library in May 2016.

After a failed redevelopment initiative in 2017, the vacant NORTHLAND MALL was sold to Michigan's Contour Companies. They got the proverbial ball rolling and broke ground on the NORTHLAND CITY CENTER project in October 2021. This unique mall repurpose is rebuilding the circa-1954 structures, using their original Mid-Century Modern design aesthetic. Notice the vintage NORTHLAND CENTER signage above.

NORTHLAND CITY CENTER will incorporate retail, entertainment, office and residential components. The 403 million dollar mall redevelopment will be comprised of 1,500 apartment units, 254 loft-type apartments, two blocks of townhomes and around 674,900 square feet of commercial space.
