Forest Fair Village, the former Cincinnati Mills, has been put up for sale by World Properties Inc., listed at $45 million.

The Cincinnati region’s largest mall was built in 2004, just as the retail empire of The Mills Corp. (Arlington, Va.) began to crumble. The 7 acre, 2 million-square-foot mall, now known as Forest Fair Village, is currently 50 percent occupied with tenants such as Bass Pro Shops and Babies R Us.

According to The Cincinnati Business Courier, announcements were made in 2011 for a redevelopment plan that included an ice arena, indoor water park and a hotel. That project never occurred. Neither did one later that year for the addition of a sports complex, to be called Cincinnati Sport Zone – though that project is apparently still alive.
