REPURPOSED GHOST TOWN MALLS IN AMERICA MAY PROVE TO BE A WINNER

 

REPURPOSE A MALL WHERE ONLY GUN LOVING MAGA PATRIOTS LIVE….ZERO CRIME WILL BE IN THAT DEVELOPMENT

 

Some malls in California have already been transformed. The former Mayfield Mall in Mountain View was transformed into offices in the mid-1980s. A redevelopment of Laguna Hills Mall is under construction to include 1,500 new housing units, offices and retail. Stonestown Galleria, located in the southwest corner of San Francisco, is on a long journey to convert empty parking lots into 3,500 housing units, new green space, offices, bike and pedestrian pathways and even a central “main street.” But they’re all part of the lucky few: 87% of large shopping malls may close over the next 10 years, according to the same study.

 

The ‘live work play’ ideal

The term “mixed-use” has become a buzzword in commercial real estate. The theory goes: If malls are to succeed, they need a diverse set of offerings that naturally captures visitors’ attention for entire days. That includes moving into the mall full-time. Lowe purchased Westfield Mission Valley East last year, with plans to build “a meaningful amount of residential” on vacant parts of the property.

 

Joel Mayer, an executive at Lowe, said we no longer live in a “siloed world.” People want to be able to shop, eat and be entertained — and even live and work — all in one place.

 

“The concept of ‘live work play,’ what everyone talks about, we think we’ll be able to accomplish it,” Mayer said.
