The renovations at Scottsdale Fashion Square show a mall willing to continue to provide the experiential retail experiences of the future, as malls across the nation close down, or renovate in hopes of attracting non-retail users.
“(Scottsdale Fashion Square) is very well leased with an occupancy of just about 97 percent,” says Kim Choukalas, vice president of leasing for Macerich, the owners of Scottsdale Fashion Square. “So, (the renovations) are very strategic. We are going to continue to grow first to market retailers.”
