Penn Square Mall

[Oil Capital]

Nothing is proposed for Penn Square, but nothing will be done to it without public incentives. Especially with some of the anchor tenants that have been previously mentioned in this thread as being on Simon's radar. For example, Saks is simply not coming to OKC, anywhere in OKC, without a significant public subsidy--the ULI panel helped establish that reality.

Any chance you could provide a link to the ULI panel establishing that reality?

Since you can't be bothered to provide a link showing this "establish[ed] ... reality", I'm going to go ahead and presume you are referring to this from the ULI FInal Report:

"The Core to Shore Plan calls for aggressive retail de* velopment on the blocks south of Myriad Gardens to the new Boulevard. During the interviews, the panel heard desires for a major new shopping destina*tion with a department store anchor—dreams of a Nordstrom or a Neiman Marcus. The panel cautions that destination retail on this scale is not going to happen. Downtown lacks the density of residents, employees, and visitors to support such a major facility. Furthermore, very few department stores are being built today, and the incentive packages required to attract one to a downtown location start at $40 million or more.


Note that it does not mention Sak's and is talking only about downtown locations.

Stop making stuff up, Spartan.
