Briarwood Mall, is a shopping mall in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a college town dominated by the the University of Michigan. Its four anchor stores are Macy's, JCPenney, Sears and Von Maur. The Mills Corporation currently manages and co-owns the mall.

History

Originally developed by developer A. Alfred Taubman in 1973, it was anchored at the time by Hudson's, JCPenney and Sears. Lord & Taylor added a store in 1980, only to close in in 1993. The store was replaced by Jacobson's that year. Taubman's shopping center interests became a publically traded real estate investment trust, Taubman Centers, in 1992. In 1998 Taubman Centers, simplified its corporate structure and turned over full ownership to its financial partner, the GM Pension Trusts. Taubman continued to manage the mall until 2004, when The Mills Corporation became 50% owner and manager.

In the meantime Jacobson's went bankrupt and closed in 2002. Von Maur purchased the vacant site and opened a store in 2004. Hudson's adopted the Marshall Field's name in 2001 before converting to Macy's on September 9, 2006. H&M also arrived in 2006.

Briarwood Mall has also been home to a movie theater since it's grand opening, originally run as "United Artists Briarwood." Since the closure of many of UA's theaters in the early 1990s, the theater has been operated as "Madstone Theater of Ann Arbor," "Village 7 Theaters," and currently as "Movies at Briarwood," operated by Teicher Theaters. Originally housing ten auditoriums , the mall has converted all but the four remaining auditoriums into retail space over the years.
