Pittsburgh-Area Macy's Store To Close

PITTSBURGH, PA - The owners of the Waterfront in Homestead have purchased the Macy’s building and plan to close the department store.

M&J Wilkow and BIG Shopping Centers is considering additional restaurants and residential development for the Macy’s site, which originally housed a Kaufmann’s department store. "We're exploring several options for this building, which is located in a key corner of The Waterfront," M&J vice president Mary Sweeney said a statement.

A sale price was not disclosed, nor was a closing date for the 114,000-square-foot store.

The last Pittsburgh-area Macy’s to close was the Century III mall location in 2016. The store’s remaining southwestern Pennsylvania locations include Ross Park Mall, South Hills Village, Monroeville Mall, the Mall at Robinson, Westmoreland Mall and the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills.

Macy's closed three stores in southwestern Pennsylvania last year in Washington, Hermitage and Beaver.
