Why Do Malls-Not To Be Added On Mercer Island?

Just like before, malls are and will continue to be an entertaining shopping experience. As entertainment changes - so do the entertainment requirements in a mall or outdoor shopping area. Adding more and better forms of entertainment and updating them regularly can keep the shopping experience relevant, and keep shoppers coming back to see what’s new.

Opened in the summer of 1992, the mall was built on the 78-acre site of the former Metropolitan Stadium, a five-minute drive from the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport. With 4.2 million square feet of floor space—including twenty-two times the retail footage of the average American shopping center—the Mall of America was "the largest fully enclosed combination retail and family entertainment complex in the United States.

White Marsh is home to the White Marsh Mall, a massive 1.2 million square foot mall in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Interestingly, it is the place where mall Santas originated. The mall plays host to over 140 shops and specialty stores. White Marsh Mall is also where many of the community’s events take place, essentially making it the city’s center as well. White Marsh itself is also home to a regional park, a university campus, a variety of restaurants, shopping centers, gyms and more. It also has the advantage of being just outside of Maryland’s capital, making it ideal for commuters.

"The City on Nicollet Mall", as they say, will be rebuilt this year and it will be transformed to more spacious and even greener with additional signature sidewalks cafes. This famous Mall is in the central business district caters a cultural and commercial center of Minneapolis.

Nantucket residents know the special gift they have living on the Island, even part of the year. To keep the Island economy hale and hearty, shopping local is the only answer. The good news is that Nantucket Island has plenty of local shops and merchants to enjoy.

According, the United State Census Bureau, the U.S. population is increasing, every eight seconds a child is born. With the population increasing sort of rapidly the construction of new neighborhoods it is going to be necessary to house these prospering families. Also, the establishment of stores are going to be needed. Therefore, neighborhood stores are going to become available and malls too, but they both are going to vary in certain aspects. Neighborhood stores are stores that provides accommodations to the locals. Malls, on the other hand, are large buildings made of multiple competitive retails stores. Nevertheless, neighborhood stores and malls seem very similar, but when looking at their square footages, remoteness from home, and marketability, they are quite different.

In order to implement my plan, I hope to use the expertise of the commercial developers in order to perfect my mall. I would assume that they will handle all of the construction aspects regarding the project. The mall will contain four retailers which should contain a clothing store, grocery store, thrift shop and health clinic. I also want to have a relatively small parking lot to encourage walkability but also to accommodate for people travelling from afar or attempting to buy in bulk.

The idea of expanding the shopping center sounds promising, however, the finished project may lead to inevitable problems. Personally, I would want to avoid future problems such as compacting the area and possibly introduce a much busy traffic than usual. Another reason to preserve the land for EVC, is that the land should be used only for school purposes such as sports. In addition to that, we can use the land to also preserve a new building for the community of EVC. With that being said, I trust that I would prevent unnecessary traffics, the land will be used for educational purposes and it may be another idea to put a new building for the community of

Many people shop at malls and by having small businesses in the mall the people will buy stuff in the stores.

It would reduce and minimize the affects of traffic congestion. Plus other negative features that arise from having single use development areas. In the downtown area of Flemington it would encourage people to live on the second and third floor of historic building and homes in the area. Having more people in that area would encourage people to walk and create a pedestrian area. The space would be better used and the business would also transform. It would become a 24 location instead of a 10-12 hour location. It would encourage people to dine downtown and create more employment for people in the area (In

After doing some research I found that this mall used to be the main place for all mankato citizens to shop back in the mid 20th century. Then the Madison East Mall moved in up on the hill and took most of the Mankato Place mall’s business. Then in 1991 a much bigger mall moved in and Mankato place lost almost every customer it ever had. This meant that the owners of Mankato Place mall had to rethink the plan and goal for their mall. The Central business district (CBD) had been moving around quite rapidly starting when Madison East Mall was opened. The CBD then moved again up to River Hills Mall when that finally opened. By this point both Madison East is hurting because all of their previous customers had found a new and improved place to shop. I found it interesting that Mankato Place is still just as empty as when Madison East first arrived in Mankato. I also found it fascinating that the CBD appears to be spreading out. It seems that the businesses on Riverfront are beginning to really make an impact again in City Center. We had talked about the different varieties of central business districts and it seems very unique and interesting how these CBD’s have have rotated and continue to rotate. I believe this says that mankato is constantly improving and people are constantly trying to work for a better place to

I do think shopping malls are public spaces because that is a place where people can go and meet with friend and they can socialize, talk about important stuff or unimportant things. People can also walk around, shop, try on clothes and much more while using that time as a time to hang out and talk to their friends. It is also a place where you can meet with people or friends you have not seen in awhile or also a public place where you can meet for the first time with people you meet over the

When establishing whether consumers are aware or unaware of their intention to spend money this is dependent on the consumer. Many enter the mall with a budget and could be under financial strain which saving is made easier, however, noting both mall’s desired target markets, the majority of consumers are seldom devoid of cash. If one is financially stable, with money and commodities available at will, it's easy to purchase and probably an effort to disregard the stimuli within the mall. Due to its scale, The V&A Waterfront employs a lot more tactics to get consumers to spend money. Everything within the mall is over glamorized and overly attractive and encourages consumers to purchase additional products, which they probably didn’t consider

When developing a series of Forum Shops here in Orlando over by the convention center on International Drive many aspects have to be taken into consideration. The first consideration is going to be the price of land and the construction costs associated with the shopping center. Since this shopping center is going to be approximately 100,000 square feet (1/6 the size of the Las Vegas Forum Shops), it is safe to assume that the total cost of land for the retail center is $25,000,000.00 if we were building straight out along one floor. However, since it is a shopping center, we are able to build up. This would enable us to cut the cost in half, and we are able to build a 100,000 square foot establishment on a 50,000 square foot parcel of land. This would drop the land cost per square foot to $12,500,000.00 because we are only going to need half as much land for the same area. The building of a shopping mall requires an architect or an architectural firm, a team of subcontractors, a knowledgeable contractor, and a cooperative developer/owner to get the job done in a reasonable time frame (Fixr). Now of course, those associated costs are going to be variable costs. It will depend on the contractors and the price of the bids they give to complete the job. Interestingly enough, also according to Fixr, in the United States, the average mall will be sized at approximately 56,212 square feet and will have two-floors, four "anchor" stores, and a length roughly four times greater than
