Charles Taylor, a partner at H T West End LLC, the ownership group of The Mall West End, says the mall needs to be developed—but protecting the community is important.

“We could have sold this mall 3-4 years ago if we had been willing to sell it to someone who going to come in and do a classic redevelopment,” explained Taylor on Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look.”

During the conversation, Taylor confirmed that Tishman Speyer, a New York real estate firm, is no longer under contract to purchase The Mall West End and confirmed that The Prusik Group is looking to purchase property that’s located a few miles from downtown Atlanta.
