Lifestyle Outlets Update

Contractors will be very busy soon at the Lifestyle Outlets, adjacent to the Bass Pro Shop and Kerasotes Theater. Red Robin and Hampton Inn will be breaking ground soon, just to the north and south of the theater. A restaurant-oriented building will be under construction to the west of the theater and work will start up again on the building directly across from J.C. Penney. In addition, the developer will be making modifications to the shop space between J.C. Penney and the theater and a brand new row of shops will be constructed across from the existing shop space.

Craig Realty Group, is very confident that the shop space will fill up quickly. Outlet Centers, while impacted by the current recession, have proven much more resilient than the balance of the retail sector, as noted in a recent article in the Los Angeles Times you can read here. As most of you may know, Craig Realty Group is now teaming with Poag & McEwen to develop the balance of the shopping center anchored by Bass Pro Shop.
