    That's good news, I really like some of their furniture and hopefully it will be a better price than Mathis Bros. Cut out the middle man!

    Well, Fiddlesticks. Mathis does have a reasonable price to quality ratio though.

    I love Dollar Tree. You can buy good merchandise for a measly dollar.

    I have their stock. Dollar Tree is the greatest store in the entire world.
    Any strip center is super lucky to have a Dollar Tree as a tenant.

    While DT may or may not be the greatest store in the world, this idea of greatness is not what the planners told the public would be going in there.

    I am not a fan of Dollar Tree and would rather have more upscale options, but the planners DID say that there would be stores like that on THAT side of the road. The upscale part is supposed to be across the street between Crest and the Embassy Suites. This development is very misunderstood.

    I have a sliver of hope left that with them establishing the traffic to that area now, and starting to get more fill in...that it will have the town center/lifestyle center developed on the east side of 24th do better.

    I know i know. However, I've seen lifestyle centers pop up everywhere up north and many fail miserably because there is no additional development around them. At least now there is a significant amount of people in that area every day which should help drive more people to the area to make a higher end store do well.

    There are 7000 Dollar Tree stores around the country including many in "Upscale" malls.
    There's a Dollar Tree in the Mall of America, at North Park Mall in Dallas and in many fine centers.
    You'll find some Dollar Trees next to Nordstrom's, next to Neiman's.

    It is one of the more well run businesses in retailing.
    And I'm not just saying this because I've built Dollar Tree's in Connecticut, Long Island, Seattle, Portland, Florida,
    and in 30 other spots across the country.

    The Dollar Tree brings traffic. Even the princesses and Lambo drivers drop in to fill their Gucci's they've just bought up the road.

    I have some doubt that there is a nordstrom next to a dollar tree.

    You have to keep in mind that this was developed during the real estate crash. Many discount retailers are finding themselves welcome in places they were once snubbed. They have the money to expand while others don't have money to expand or have the money and have chosen to invest in their exiting locations.

    Define 'next to' Here in Jax our new Nordstrom is in the same shopping center as Dollar Tree. Not right next door to it but close enough you can walk from one to the other.

    The council's agenda for last Tuesday included the UNP Final Site Development Plan. It's, of course, terrible design.

    Isn't this a lovely life-style center design?

    I thought the lifestyle center was supposed to be south of Embassy Suites? Am I mistaken?

    Also, this whole thing has been a disappointment. I can't believe this is what we ended up with. Could have at least added some apartments or something.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure the Lifestyle center is further SEW than this map. It seems to just be the build out plan for the final patch to the NW section. I think at this point it is expected all highway adjacent development is going to be big box.

    If I'm not mistaken that is south of rock creek and west of 24th. In theory the lifestyle portion is supposed to start NE of there. And I agree, crappy layout.

    That's correct. Here is a direct link to the image so it is a bit bigger to read. You can clearly see Rock Creek at the top and 35 to the left. 24th is off the map. Lifestyle portion is actually East or slightly SE of this area.

    Yep, that's my bad. I mistook Rock Creek Rd for Tecumseh Rd. Venture's right on the location.

    It's bad that we have to distinguish which streets are which to determine which part of the development is supposed to be a "lifestyle center" and which part isn't.....since we obviously can't tell by the design because it's all the same typical linear commercial sprawling development.
