The bricks, metal, and aluminum from the mall will be sorted and recycled or sent to the landfill.

KRIS 6 broke the story back on August 7 that owners have future plans to built two Marriott hotels, two apartment complexes, and some restaurants in place of the old mall.

Sunrise Mall opened its doors on February 4th, 1981 , and has been virtually “dead” since August 2019 when it officially closed its doors to the public.
