COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)— Plans to update the Richland County Mall property are in the works.

The site in Forest Acres was purchased by Southeastern Developers about a month ago.

During a community breakfast yesterday, developers said phase one could take a few years, but will start within the next year.

It includes multi-family housing units, a brewery, and other new retail stores. Forest Acres park will be located on the backside of the property.

Phase one is expected to cost $101 million.

Forest Acres leaders say this is an exciting time for the city.
