If you are driving along the 215 beltway very close to Red Rock Casino you will see the shell of building that has been going on. It now looks like a ghost town with the structures silhouette plainly not being attended to. General Growth Properties of Chicago and The Howard Hughes Corporation announced plans to delay the opening of this long anticipated mall until sometime in 2010. The Shops at Summerlin Centre was to open in October of 2009 and already had 100 retailers on board. Some of these retailers included Macy’s, Crate and Barrel, Dillard’s, and Nordstrom’s. Summerlin residents have been hearing about this mall for a long time.
The developer has promised that the project will go forward but the general economic climate at this time. John Bucksbaum Chief Executive with General Growth Properties was quoted saying they have the full support of the retailers to delay the project.
The Shops at Summerlin Centre will be beautiful when it is opened with pedestrian friendly shopping and outdoor gardens with seating for visitors to relax and enjoy their shopping experience. There will also be condominiums built.
I was very much looking forward to the opening next year, but hope that the plans to open in 2010 will come to fruition. I will post updates to this project as I find out more.
