Entertainment & Specialty Project Roundup


The Mills Corporation is developing the 1.2 million Colorado Mills in Lakewood, CO. The $250 million project is a product of the company’s partnership with developer Greg Stevison and Taubman Company. The center will include an outdoor component called E-Street including restaurants, a one-of-a-kind museum and entertainment venues. The project began as Denver West Village Shopping Center developed by Stevison on a lot just west of the current project, but the site and name changed with the influx of national developers’ money. The center will be anchored by OFF 5TH- Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet and Last Call from Neiman Marcus. The company will also develop the 900,000 sq.ft. mixed-use center anchored by the San Francisco YMCA at Piers 27-31 along the northeast waterfront in San Francisco, CA. The center will include a 300,000 sq.ft. YMCA facility with skate parks, swimming pools and rock climbing as well as 150,000 sq.ft. for recreational retail and casual dining and 200,000 sq.ft. in office space. The San Francisco Port Commission awarded the rights and the complex is scheduled to open in 2004. The company has announced plans to develop the 1.2 million sq.ft. Madrid Xanadu in the suburbs of Madrid, Spain. The project will be anchored by two concepts from El Cortes Ingles who will occupy 400,000 sq.ft. with a department store and a Hipercor market. The center will also include a 180,000 sq.ft. snowdome featuring indoor skiing, snowboarding and ice skating.
