History
Originally developed by developer A. Alfred Taubman, Briarwood opened on October 3, 1973. At the time, it was anchored by JCPenney and Sears, with Hudson's opening a year later.[2] Lord & Taylor was later added as the mall's fourth anchor in 1980. The store closed in 1993 and became Jacobson's, which relocated from its flagship store in downtown Ann Arbor.[3]
Taubman's shopping center interests became a publicly traded
In 2007,
Briarwood Mall was home to a movie theater at its grand opening, originally run as "United Artists Briarwood." After the closure of many of United Artists' theaters in the late 1990s, the theater was operated as "Madstone Theater of Ann Arbor", "Village 7 Theaters", and "Movies at Briarwood." The theater was later reduced to four screens, as the other three screens were taken over by a new Pottery Barn.[6] The theaters closed again in 2010, with an MC Sports replacing them.[7][8]
Briarwood received a major renovation in 2013 with new flooring, new lighting and redesigned mall entrances. Renovations also included LED lighting, and improved mall seating and bathrooms.
