Hello Biglou, and thanks for your question.
Clearly, you are in need of the following resource:
Directory of Major Malls, Inc.
P.O. Box 837
Nyack, NY 10960
1-800-898-MALL
http://www.directoryofmajormalls.com/
They have a printed directory (which you may find available in a major
library), a CD (very expensive), as well as on-line access to their
comprehensive information on shopping malls both large and small.
Their site includes a search page where you can enter criteria for the
types of malls you would like listed. You can specify a host of
features: location, square footage, number of parking spaces, sales,
year opened, etc. To give it a try, click on "Run a Free Power
Search" (yes...the search is really free...it's the results you have
to pay for!)
I conducted a preliminary search for malls:
--in the Chicago metropolitan area
--with 100 tenants or more
The results indicated there are 27 malls that meet the criteria I
entered. If you needed a larger list, it would be a simple matter of
searching a larger geographical area, or searching for malls with,
say, 50 (rather than 100) tenants.
The results of the search can be downloaded from the site for a fee,
but therein hangs a tale. None of the lower-priced canned reports
(generally, $.75 per listing, so that a list of 50 malls would cost
$37.50) includes ALL the information you are after. It may be
necessary to purchase several reports to get all the info you want, or
to spring for the premium-priced "full center details" report ($4.00
per listing)to get the whole deal.
Or, you may want to contact the Directory folks directly to see if
they can custom tailor a report for you at an agreeable price.
Some of the reports that may be of interest to you are as follows:

You can also see the details of a sample "full report" by clicking on
it at the site. It includes not only physical and marketing details,
but a list of key contact people, and a list of all the stores at the
mall.
I hope this is the information you were seeking. But if you feel this
answer is incomplete in any way, please tell me through a "Request for
Clarification" before rating my response. Let me know what else you
need, and I'll be more than happy to try and provide it. |

Just to be sure I understand your follow up question -- do you mean
the full product is too pricey (buying the book or the CD), or
downloading a list is too pricey?
From what I see on the site, they DO have a "per request" charge for
each list you generate, then download. And they charge, generally,
$.75 per shopping mall, so that a list of Top 50 sites would cost
$37.50.
I think you were trying to say you really needed info "on one center".
If that's the case, you should be able to download even a single
report from the site, for either 75 cents, or $4 for the comprehensive
report.
Let me know, with another clarification, what the obstacle is, and
what exactly you're after, and I'll see what I can do for you.
