About DeBartolo Commons

We have partnered with the DeBartolo-York Family to collectively bring DeBartolo Commons, a 4-acre community green space to Southern Park Mall.

We can’t think of a better partner than the DeBartolo-York Family.

With the DeBartolo-York Family, and our other stakeholders, we have completed a redevelopment effort to make Southern Park as dynamic as ever and maintain its longstanding presence as a gathering place to shop, play, eat, drink and hang out within the Boardman community.

LEGACY

Raised from humble beginnings in Youngstown, Ohio, Edward J. DeBartolo went on to be included on the first Forbes 400 list of richest Americans in 1983.

DeBartolo embraced the lessons he learned studying engineering at Notre Dame and applied them in action with the Army Corps of Engineers during WWII. As a Lieutenant, he learned the importance of leadership and decisive decision-making, traits that would serve him well in his industrious and prolific career.

His passion for construction manifested itself into a vision that created new shopping experiences and pioneered the birth of the shopping mall. He also brought excitement to The Valley through his ownership of major sports teams in the National Football League and National Hockey League. The San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Penguins reflected the winning spirit that DeBartolo embodied and demonstrated it by winning multiple division and league championships.

This exhibit tells the story of a life of legacy, community, and heritage. Visit the exhibit located just inside the DeBartolo Commons entrance.
