I mean, the Crossroads land must have come up after they started this. Otherwise anyone in their site selection group needs their heads examined for even thinking for a second about the Mall site.
Much better location, although there are big power lines going over the site...keep your drives low, folks!
I'm actually not exactly sure what property they're talking about. The big parking lot is 1714 Piney Plains, and it's just over 14 acres. 1710 next door is just under 5 acres but has Haddock/Caliber Collision on a good chunk of it.
The whole area and road network there feels weird to me...hoping this and the proposed stuff across the street behind the BJ's/Kohl's plaza helps it all come together. I hate how Meeting St. has traffic lights at Walnut and Dillard and yet where it bends back past HH Gregg it feels like cutting through a back alley or someone's driveway.
Crossroads traffic is already such a mess. Oh well.
Did my exercise walk through Cary Mall today and noticed 10-12 vacancies and a bunch of kiosks have been taken out, scrapped. (It's 1.1 miles if you stay inside and walk along outside walls.)
Sure wish a Great Wolf Lodge could fit in the area where Sears was.
Or, keep an eye on the housing-over-retail going up at Park West in Morrisville. If that fills up fast, would maybe be a role model idea for downtown Cary or the mall area?
Park West has the advantage of groceries, restaurants. and movies so close by. And...they only let in reputable national chains.
Seems like a much better place for it. There are a few houses straight beyond it if you look at a larger view, but I assume there would be much less light spillover compared to being right beside it.
