Ok, two things real quickly.

#1. I know this topic has been discussed before on this forum, but since it's such big exciting news, I thought I'd create a new post.

#2. Not sure how the Oklahoman or anybody else missed this since it was announced last Thursday.

Michael Galiga, with Edmond based As One Group said the Simon Property Group will work in a joint venture with the Covell I-35 Development group to build the 1.2million sq. foot open air retail lifestyle center. Tenants have not been disclosed although they say they already have "verbal committments".

This should be great news. For those who aren't familiar with Simon, they own and manage Penn Square Mall. Should hopefully bring more upscale, new to Oklahoma retailers!
