I am sure that this is not going to surprise anyone, but Crossroads is on the April 30 Oklahoma County Sheriff's Auction.

Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office -- Sheriff Sales (http://www.oklahomacounty.org/sheriff/SheriffSales/saledetail.asp)
(4th property down)


With an appraised value of $12,000,000, the auction will start at $8,000,000. They have no past due taxes, so it is a clean auction. It seems like this would be something the city could buy and use for something...

Also, please note that the fifth item down is the AMC theatre located at Crossroads...

Sixth item down is the Steve and Barry's building...

Seventh item down is the Fairfield Inn and Texas Roadhouse buildings...

WOW it seems they will pretty much clear that whole area out, i bet the best buy building is going to go as well.. Lots of land for maybe a theme park? new nfl football size stadium?

So why are all the pad sites being auctioned off as well? Aren't they owned by individual companies? The dollar theater I thought was still doing ok. You don't go to that theater and the mall.....i mean the two don't attract each other's business. Texas Roadhouse could move and be fine. People go there to eat there, and it doesnt matter where it is...nothing special about that location. But the hotels sort of confuse me. There aren't many hotels in that vacinity (and maybe for good reason), but that also means theres no competition. So why are they doing poorly? And all on the same auction?!??!

The majority of businesses these days own the building but lease the land they occupy. This makes it easier to dispose of the building in the event they want to relocate. Besides from what I understood the hotels, Best Buy and Tires plus were going to have to relocate because they are in the safety zone of new interchange planned for I-240/I-35.

What I love to see is White Water and Frontier City to relocate to this site.

In realty we will probably most likely see a distribution center take over the area. Just simply because of the location and access to I-35 and I-240.

The theater, Texas Roadhouse and Fairfield Inn are all on property owned by the Crossroads ownership group. They are probably ground leases or maybe even "build-to-suits" where the land owner owns the building as well and leases it back to the business. Usually only done with restaurants, however.

Anyway, all these properties must have been foreclosed upon, just like the mall.

And even if the underlying property is sold at auction, the business leases would remain in tact... So it doesn't mean that any of them would close.

prime property for amusement park!!!!

I think that it would be a perfect spot for a amusement park, or better yet a Soccer style stadium, if we ever get a Major League Soccer team.

A bunch of stuff is done that way, all the Walgreen's stores that I did in the late 90's were build to suit/long term lease except for the Enid location which was a turnkey arrangement, which meant the developer did a build to suit but Walgreens bought the site/building upon completion.

ya know, if Valley Brook PD wrote an extra 12 tickets a day, they could probably buy the place and annex it.

LOL.

Well i think in more realistic thinking, we're not going to get anthing other than an empty building. That's one HUGE downside to the place going under. It's just going to sit there vacant for years and years because what do you do with a mall? There is land on 240 that wouldn't require demo work so a distribution center doesn't really work...or any similar large facility. Plus access to the place really isn't that good. That's always been a complaint for customers is how you have to take weird exit paths to get to the mall compared to somewhere like Quail or Penn.

I have read through all of the posts for this thread and now it is my turn!! I truly believe that I know what will work at this mall. First of all you have a 1.2 million square foot building that is not in bad shape. The upkeep (keep in mind I am not talking cosmetics here) of the general maintenance is great. The mall is in good structural shape. It just needs a facelift. In regards to the open anchors, people are spending their money on two things right now. Food and Entertainment. So we have 4 anchors that are empty and the solution is simple.
1st anchor: Indoor Water Park or Indoor Amusement Park
2nd anchor: Dave & Buster’s/Incredible Pizza/Brunswick X (or something like
it)
3rd anchor: Community Center/Event Center (the Coleman deal was a
success and there are other big name companies coming in
soon to do the same type of sale)
4th anchor: Casino (or to keep it family oriented there could be an indoor
amusement park in the 1st anchor and then an indoor water
park in the 4th.

The stores inside the mall would feed off of the traffic from the entertainment venues. Since there are quite a few empty spaces those could be filled with "outlet" type stores. The project on I40 and Council is currently at a standstill until further notice so this would be the opportunity that Crossroads could capitalize on.

In regards to the sale of the mall, I believe that the owner/owners should be locally based. The ownership needs to have a passion for this place. Not just someone with only dollar signs on the brain. I believe if all of this happened the mall would turn around in no time. I even have a brilliant marketing plan in mind on how to spark interest with the public.

These are just my ideas...I would love to see Crossroads Mall reinvent itself. It is time to bring this diamond in the rough that has been getting dirt thrown all over it the past few years back. It can happen with the right people in the right positions. This is all going to be about timing...

I am curious as to what everyone else thinks about these ideas. I look forward to reading the responses!

That is some good ideas, getting someone to buy into it will be another especially in the slow economy. It will take somone with great vision such as they done to bricktown and heavily publisize it not just renovate and be quiet.

That is some great ideas superk, I like the idea of a indoor amusement park.

I think SuperK has some great ideas, and an outlet center would be a perfect use for Crossroads IF someone with a lot of resources would be able to get behind it. Crossroads actually reminds me of the Mills outlet malls that I've been to (the whole "industrial" feel to it, with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, etc.) Sadly, I don't foresee that happening, especially in this economy.

It doesn't really make sense to get rid of Crossroads either, seeing how 1) there is a decent amount of empty land in the area, 2) the piece of land that it sits on isn't particularly valuable (considering the former point), 3) the building is in (apparently) good condition, and 4) demolishing the mall would cost a pretty penny. The most practical re-use would probably be as a mix of offices/non-profit/community organizations/schools/etc. (Similar to what is being done with a number of "dead" malls, such as Eastland Mall (http://www.eastgatemetroplex.com/) in Tulsa.)

I think that demolishing it (at least in the near future) would probably be a last resort within a few years if the future owner ends up letting the property sit empty and decay. Hopefully it doesn't end up in the hands of anyone like Haywood Whichard (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4182/is_20060301/ai_n16204908), who is known for buying "dead" malls and sitting on them until either he gets a decent offer for the property, or the local government takes action against the property owner; he's claimed he'll sit on an empty mall for 10 years if that's how long it takes for him to make money on it.

The city could easily keep this from happening by introducing strict code enforcement laws for retail properties. This would allow them to force owners like this guy to keep the property up or lose control of it through liens.

Those are some good ideas. HOWEVER, you arent going to pull anyone out of Bricktown, Like Dave and Busters which is rumered to be going there later this year. You also have to look at the most important thing. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Unless people get off thier butts and pay for more Police since we are dramatically understaffed, that part of town isnt going to get better any time soon.

I would love to see and indoor water park. But It wont happen anytime soon.

I hate to come off as pesemistic, but I agree that we're pretty much done with the place. No one is going to put a dime into that place, and it's going to just end up empty. Even office space isn't going to move in there....it's too cheap and much easier to be somewhere else. It would be great to see some of these ideas come through, but I just don't see any of it happening.

take the dave and busters rumor with a grain of salt, rumor was they where going to be infront of warren in moore later this year, who knows exactly where it will be , heck it dave and busters might not even come here this year

I normally don't chime in on this thread, and my idea may be an old one, but I think the only plausible future for the mall is as a regional tranportation stop on a commuter rail line going from Edmond to Norman. The rails are there, the parking space is there as well. To compliment this a bit of ingenuity could take the bones of the mall and revitalize it into attractive urban housing with other mixed uses. Proximity to the rail station would be the prime selling point.
The first thing that would have to go from the structure itself, as much of a retro relic of the 70's as it is, would be the roof. It would be easy to imagine a bricktown-like canal running through the middle of the buildings with apartments made from the former stores overlooking the canal. The outside would have to be totally re-configured to do away with the horrible anonimity of the buff brick facades. Perhaps more apartment/offices and some retail here as well. Crucial is trees, trees, trees. That parking lot needs to look like a park before it will have any hope of attracting businesses or residence. Crossroads mall should become "Crossroads Hill".

Yes, this will also take a developer with unbelieveable vision, not to mention bottomless pockets, however I sincerely believe that the only possible alternative is to tear the whole thing down and do the same thing from scratch.

tear it down dig a big wide hole fill it with water and plant a bunch of trees and call it crossroads lake, put some seafood restaurants around it and ta-da a mini lake hefner

Landfill Lake!

I personally dont see how any investor would be too wild about doing anything there due to the huge mountain of trash that dominates the landscape.

Why do we have two of these monstrosities so near what would otherwise be prime real estate and what can be done about it?

well close the land fill, then add a bunch of multi million dollar homes on it, call the once landfill, mountain view, then add the lake where crossroads is now, turn bad to good, even if it is a not so good thing to put expensive homes on a once trash hill, out of state buyers will never know till its to late.

From what I understand the landfill was in place way before Crossroads was a glimmer in a developers eye.

And, at that, it was "in the middle of nowhere," pre-sprawl days.

If I'm remembering correctly those landfills will become parks someday. I believe those plans are already in place. Maybe Steve, or Metro can confirm or deny any such plan. A few years ago this plan was before the City Council. I just don't remember the details.

That is hilarious.

Actually, the landfill started AFTER Crossroads was operational .....by a few years. A moot point, however.

Might want to pick up on some intersting thoughts flyin round...

Things could change...

Make it a light Rain station... Got tracks and parking... Hwy and access loops...

Fancy talking to you...

An interesting read on how malls can thrive....

How One Mall Got People to Buy Stuff, and How You Can, Too - Advertising Age - Jonathan Salem Baskin (http://adage.com/cmostrategy/article?article_id=135341)

You might have to register (free) to read it but it shows how malls that work smart and work hard can attract and retain patrons (or in their words, guests).

If you took some of the notes from this article and paired them with the concept of reshaping some of the property into a mission critical transportation hub, you might be able to revive Crossroads over the next 10 years. Crossroads by name implies a central position but could more aptly be positioned as a gateway from the Norman corridor into the downtown/C2S area.

I went out to Crossroads yesturday afternoon to pick up my sons glasses from Sams Optical and the mall was deserted, I then realized it was Easter sunday and figured that was the reason but I didn't think the mall had ever closed on Easter before have they? Maybe I am just getting old and loosing my memory.

Nope...from what I saw almost everything was closed yesterday, and I would guess Crossroads isn't an exception.

Crossroads as we know is about gone, last weekend, I noticed that even Orange Julius had shut down. The area can be revitalized, not as a mall with the typical deparment store anchor at each end, but something different. Its former anchors have chosen to leave and they don't need the same old space back. Part of the overall problem is you can't see it anymore, it used to be a desination, it's pyramid glass roof was a node for southern OKC. Now all you see is the back-end of a few ugly strip malls that surround it's perimeter, the mall is hidden. I have a few ideas - I stumbled across this blog yesterday and it was just last Saturday when me and a freind thought we would go see what was left and noticed that hardly anything at all was there.
I'm kind of a 'big idea' design nerd but that's where it all starts, everyone's ideas put down in writing and visual presentation form. Hanz Butzer has taken a big idea from an OU class project and turned it into the Core to Shore. The same concept can apply to other areas of OKC. Not the New Urbanistic Mixed Used Development, that works around downtown, not Suburbia Central. I know these days we're all about mixed-use urbanism but the reality is you can't make all of OKC Urban, it won't work, it is what it is and we should attempt to make it work. Crossroads could conceivebly be torn down to put in something new, but what else would work in that location? That would be incredibly expensive and it would be a waste of the actual structure that is there. Comparibly, it would be a lot cheaper to update the exterior, clean up the whole area, add lots of LANDSCAPING and hopefully attract stores that don't compete with other malls and strip malls down the road. There was another blog saying IKEA planned to come to OKC - that's a start, IKEA's are huge stores(and it's certainly something different) - would it be cheaper to buy land, build a new store and spend hundreds of thousands or more on parking alone? Why not use one of the anchor stores, the Dillards building has three floors, if thats not enough, add on to one of the existing stores. Overall, I think there needs to be some visuals out there for some potential developer to stumble across - would it really be that impossible to think that Oklahoman Investors couldn't take on the task? Another idea - there is a LOT of talk about commuter rail service (MAPS3). We already have an Amtrak to Texas, and I even heard on the radio this morning that one of President Obama's proposed "high speed rail" service lines from the stimulous package might come from San Antonio to Tulsa. Well, the tracks are litterally on the west side of Crossroad's parking lot. This would work as a park-and-ride for high speed rail. Why couldn't an OKC-Norman train take Southbound Sooners to OU games from this large un-used parking lot to ease some of the congestion in norman, the tracks also run right on the west side of the OU Stadium. Try to peal back, in your head, all of the ugly surroundings, the empty ashphalt wasteland, and the gang-banging movie theater and there is actually some interest to the site if it was revitalized. I think this area would fit best a 'new' mall of somesort and not the latest Community College, County Jail, Mega Church, or Buisiness Park. In fact we want all of the Office development to center around Core to Shore anyway...

These are just big ideas, i'd like to hear any sugguestions.

I like the idea of a crossroads mall memorial.

The owners of Crossroads Mall signed it's death certificate years ago when they refused to police it. If you allow the thugs and gangsters to take over, all of the decent people will not use the facility. I for one believe that too many people were frightend away by the trash that used it for a hangout. With the people staying away from the mall the anchor stores had to find more suitable locations to carry on business. We as southsiders should have never allowed the mall to become the gangland it became, all of us should have stood against the little punks and forced them out, after all if you are not willing to stand for your own principles you get what you get. It may be too late now for Crossroads but we must remember that it is our duty to not let there be a repeat.

I think there was a Forever 21 in the mall, but I'm not sure. Just striked me with the familiar name in another topic on PSM.

There is a new, huge spa resort, La Laeu or something like that. It's pretty huge.

The traffic in the mall was steady. There seem to be more stores opened than vacant spaces.

There's definitely NOT a Forever 21 in Crossroads.

There's definitely NOT a Forever 21 in Crossroads.

I went back to check, and indeed, there is one, right there, says Forever 21! :omg:

Okay, actually it was Rue 21, corrected by Metro. :LolLolLol

(I didn't drive back. lol)

so is this mall up for auction today?

If it is for sale, I hope that someone who plans on renovating the mall, comes in and does so.

The mall has serious potential, if it just looked better on the inside. SERIOUS POTENTIAL!

If this mall were to revive, the areas outside would surely come alive. The plaza where the old Best Buy was, would probably get overhauled. New buildings and businesses would move into the areas surrounding the mall.

I just don't hope they turn this into another business mall, or government controlled building with lots of government offices, as that would just show how far down southside is falling. We need businesses and retail chains, so some serious spending can take place in southside.

even Orange Julius had shut down

That's sad... One of the few remaining original tenants.

And Lindsay, I agree that putting together several big tenants like Ikea might be the only way to salvage the place as a retail development.

But the entire property would have to be changed around and the enclosed mall would likely need to go.

And the timing of all this is horrible, as all the big retailers are in survival mode -- at best.

It's probably best the place just hangs on by it's fingernails for at least another year until the economy rebounds, retailers start expanding again and financing is more readily available. I'm afraid if it closes completely it will be very hard for it to ever come back in retail form.

Chik-Fil-A is there! I don't remember them being there before, but they are now across from Sonic on the lower floor near ex-Dillards.

Chik-Fil-A has been in the mall for at least 30 years.

Chik-Fil-A has been in the mall for at least 30 years.

:omg: Okay, maybe I lost a memory portion of it.

The American Legion Post #35 is having a car and truck show May 23 in the mall parking lot. The manager said that ownership would change to a bank and would have no effect on us.

Hmm, so that means no renovations I guess?

I said this before earlier in this topic, but I had a dream in December, where this mall was being renovated.

It looked REALLLL nice.

It had green marble pillars between the stores, or at least one of the stores.

The flooring was green marble, with mainly white marble flooring.

I remember walking into the mall from the outside, and even the outside was getting a facelift in the way of a more rounded structure, instead of a boxy look.

Here's hoping that dream will come true, and that mall will come alive and look as good, if not better then quail and penn.

I hate to break it to you, but that isn't happening. lol :o

Crossroads Mall reverts to lender
Bankrupt Crossroads Mall’s fate remains in question

Crossroads Mall went back to the lender, which was the only bidder at a sheriff’s sale Thursday.

Crossroads Malls’ mortgage holder is now holding the mall, too.

Maiden Lane Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities Trust offered the only bid for the mall Thursday at the Oklahoma County sheriff’s sale, so it went back to the lender.

Crossroads Mall went into foreclosure late last year.

The bid was $11.24 million, about $1 million above the county assessor’s estimated market value of $10.23 million. The assessor’s value for the troubled mall plummeted from $48.9 million in 2008.

However, the bid, under law, had to be at least two-thirds of the property’s appraised value, said the receiver, Jim Parrack of Price Edwards & Co., which has been managing the property under foreclosure. That puts the appraisal at about $15 million.

After the bankruptcy court confirms the sale, the lender will be able to put the mall on the market, he said. Meanwhile, it’s business as usual at the mall, where the sheriff’s sale will go largely unnoticed, he said.

"It means nothing at the mall level. It will continue to be open and operate as normal,” Parrack said.

The future of the mall, at the intersection of Interstate 40 and I-35 on Oklahoma City’s south side, remains as uncertain as ever, however.

Property specialists have questioned whether the property will remain as a retail center, especially with retail in decline nationally amid a recession, and credit woes continuing to stymie investment.

Crossroads have the potential. The ecomony is great right now to be spending on a SERIOUS revonations. Just look at Devon Energy! I know the mall doesn't have an anchor, but the stores that is left inside seem to be holding on quite well. We, the people, the citizens of the state of Oklahoma, need to start shopping at Crossroads, no matter what, it is the only way to show that, we the people of the state of Oklahoma, is still interested in this frickin historic mall! I shopped there the other day and spent $30 for some Mother's Day gifts. Mother's Day is coming up on May 10th, so get out there, buy a thing or two!

My personal opinion on this matter is that Crossroads Mall has served it's purpose at one time, however, changing demographics and the malls reputation as a shady, gang infested place basically has sealed it's fate. What few stores are left are one's I personally would not shop at. The mall in my opinion is on it's last leg.

You just can't compare the two. At all. The people have already voted with their feet. They don't want to shop at Crossroads. Let it die, Thunder.

Many times I've been to the mall, never once....NEVER ONCE....have I ever witness any gang activities....INCLUDING NIGHTS!

I don't want the mall to die. I tell you this, I shop more at Crossroads than PSM. I have not been to QSM for many years.

Sounds like you're a southsider!

Sounds like you're a southsider!

Is it a crime to live on the south side?

I used to love going to Crossroads when I visited the city as a child. The Dillard's where I bought my first Guess jean jacket and the Foleys where I bought Swatches... Ahh memories. And the arcade where my cousins and I would spend hours was so much fun. That was 20 years ago.

The mall has come full circle. It's sad, but it's lifecycle is over. Let it die already. Tear it down, and let the land be redeveloped for a new use.

Maybe proud P.B. Odom, III could buy it and do something with it.

Unfortunately they are battling against two stout forces

Actually, three...

Word of mouth is what's trying to kill Crossroad's. The more people talk about it in the negative sense, the faster it might happen.

Crossroad's Mall is ALIVE AND WELL! It conveniently houses 100 stores under one roof. The merchants are friendly and helpful, no long lines or waits for service. Great sales and THEY WANT YOUR BUSINESS. When was the last time you shopped and the salesperson seemed genuinely happy to help you?

We have a stake in the survival of this great mall. The wonderful leasing company, Price Edwards has a HUGe heart for troops. For almost two years now, they have hosted The Hugs Project and given us both a storefront and utilities in order that we could have a workspace and be able to support American troops serving in harm's way.

This past Christmas, we were able to ship out 2,760 care packages those deployed in service to our country. We've sent over 600,000 cooling ties that reduce body core temps and save lives and each week (year around) we send out between 30-40 boxes of love and support to those in harm's way. We could NOT do this if not for the generosity of Crossroad's Mall.

Please come shop and while there, drop by Suite 1048, located by the Sheriff's Office off center court. We're open every W, Th and Sat. from 10-4, sometimes later. We'd love to see you :welcome55 and so would the merchants. OKC needs this mall and the revenue it creates. The Hugs Project and our troops need your support too.

Hope to see you soon,

Karen

Another reason to shop at the mall!!!
