Have you been southside lately?

I-240 and PENN is going through a makeover as we speak. The old Walmart is being torn down and replaced with a shopping center that will face 240. It will look similar to Belle Isle. The mardels will also be torn down and it will be relocated into the shopping center. On the Border is going in next to Santa Fe.

These tenants have already reserved space: Old Navy. Marshalls, Michaels (relocating from walnut square), PetsMart (relocating from across 240), Pier One and a few more I can't remember. The completion date is set for the fall.

At 240 and Walker, the old Pratts shopping center has been demolished. Chuck E. Cheese is going to be rebuilt and a national retailer has commited to the site but their keeping quiet. Life Church leased the remainer of the old builder square that Academy didn't use.
