There's a lot across Woods Lake that is used as well during the holiday season.
When the land is valuable enough, parking will simply go vertical.

It's funny. Haywood has a 4 level garage now and much of it is hardly used most of the time and during holiday's. Quite a few people that don't like parking garages and prefer the surface lots. I get it though for safety issues they don't like that enclosed feeling.

Parking can easily be moved or rebuilt. This is a waste of land that can be put to much better use as something else, and I think it eventually will be. That same argument applies to most destination malls, yet they've been able to infill parking or plan to do it without any Christmas problems.

If a company wants to build a chain hotel or luxury apartments on that land and Simon gets $$$ for it, they're not going to say no.

I think it's simply parking on the lot just feels easier to people. Many garages are built like a confusing maze, and getting to your car in the lot can feel quicker, even if it's really not. But if you don't give people much a choice, they'll park in the garage, especially if it's still free.

It could very well sit there to rot, or be converted into something like a medical clinic. I'd rather keep it as a store that sells clothes than that.

Regardless of JCP, Haywood Rd has a good future imo. Maybe the best potential of all the Greenville corridors.
Well put. That area’s potential is unlimited. It’s current use is highest & best But there will be considerable evolution.
