Crosstown extension could be home to new 'lifestyle center'
CORPUS CHRISTI - Another large retail shopping center is in the works and this one looks to change the shape of the area along the new Crosstown extension. The proposed center would be built on Holly road between the Crosstown Expressway and Greenwood. In a time where the city of Corpus Christi is seeing residential growth, developers are also interested in it's economic potential, and this proposed site they call "Crosstown Commons" is the latest in shopping center plans. Representatives from CBL & Associates and the Hawkins Company presented the plan for Crosstown Commons to city hall. It's what's called a lifestyle center, which is a newer type of retail market like the 'La Cantera' shopping center in San Antonio. The plans for Crosstown Commons feature an pedestrian-friendly outdoor mall area aimed to be a regional center catering to areas outside of Corpus Christi.
Village OKs incentive pact
PLAINFIELD -- Village leaders are describing a future shopping center as a "monumental" project that will help shape the future of Plainfield. The Shops at the Polo Club, a 610,000-square-foot lifestyle center to be anchored by a Von Maur department store, would open in 2009 if it proceeds as planned. Village board members unanimously approved a $16.5 million incentive agreement Monday, something local officials and the developer said was crucial to the project moving forward. Poag & McEwen Lifestyle Centers last week outlined plans for the lifestyle center on 53 acres on the northeast corner of Illinois 59 and 119th Street. Plans also call for a gourmet grocery store, theater, bookstore, outdoor sporting goods store, restaurants, specialty fashion retailers and a hotel. The economic incentive agreement, which would help pay for infrastructure on the site, states the village would issue a revenue bond that would be repaid by the village's share of sales tax revenue generated at the shopping center.
