La remodelación del Foothills Mall de °Õ³Ü³¦²õó²Ô está en marcha mientras se quitan las paredes para el futuro proyecto de uso mixto, Uptown.
El desarrollador local Bourn Cos. planea demoler más del 65% de la estructura actual del centro comercial en Ina Road y La Cholla Boulevard.
Se han cercado grandes áreas del estacionamiento a medida que avanza la demolición en Foothills Mall.
Bourn compró la propiedad de 51 acres en 2016, cuando el centro comercial estaba en apuros luego de que ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Premium Outlets, en Twin Peaks Road y la Interestatal 10, atraÃa a los inquilinos.
“Nuestro pensamiento aquà es que el centro comercial debe convertirse en algo muy diferente de lo que ha sidoâ€, dijo Don Bourn al ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ en ese momento. “Necesitamos hacer que el centro comercial se sienta como si hubiera sido construido, no para hace 30 años, sino para dentro de 10 años.
