Wonderland would not have been built by Al Taubman, as others have made obvious, he was too young to have developed that mall. I know from personal experience working for his President/CEO of Taubman that they did not develop their own large shopping center until the late 60s. They were the general contractor for the Macomb Mall--they bid on two projects that went up at the same time, the Livonia Mall and the Macomb Mall and they won the contract for the Macomb mall, that was 1963. It was a huge step for them, and led to their becoming the developer of large indoor malls later. They went at a breakneck pack in the 70s, in a ten year period they built 50 large shopping centers across the United States. Lakeside, Fairlane, Twleve Oaks and Briarwood are their Detroit area projects, the Meridian Mall in East Lansing and the Greenwood Mall in GR are but a few of those 50 projects.
