A recent survey released to the public in June has supplied the Government Employees Retirement System (GERS) with much-needed feedback that will inform the revitalization efforts of Havensight Shopping Mall.
On June 30, 1993, GERS acquired the Havensight Shopping Mall, a 14-acre investment, from the West Indian Company (WICO) for $32 million. After the acquisition, WICO continued to manage the property until 2020, when GERS assumed full control of operations.
After news broke in 2023 that Haven Developments, in partnership with Hilton, would be establishing a Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Havensight, the GERS team saw an opportunity to completely revamp the Havensight product and reimagine the Havensight experience for both locals and visitors alike.
“We have discovered through time that tourists are more interested in experiential destinations. We offer retail which is great, and some dining and entertainment opportunities, but we really want to expand our experiential offerings at Havensight,” said Angel Dawson, administrator of GERS.
