Question: Do the Maddens still own the land that Hamburg Place sits on? Who owns the buildings? Are the roads in the shopping center maintained by the city?

Answer: Hamburg Place has several arrangements for leasing and ownership, said Pat Madden, spokesman for the corporation. In some cases, retailers own their sites. In others, they own the land but lease the building. In still others, they lease both the land and the building. Roads are both private and public; the private roads are designated as such on the street signs and are serviced by the corporation. The city maintains the two major thoroughfares, Sir Barton Way and Pink Pigeon Parkway, according to the city Streets and Roads department.
