Springfield Town Center Construction Continues

Site plan depicts new lay out of the mall redevelopment.

 

The redevelopment of the Springfield Mall is currently progressing on schedule according to Mara Ooguin, a spokesperson for what will soon be the Springfield Town Center.

The demolition of the Springfield Mall began Nov. 26. All of the mall's stores closed back in July except for Macy's, JCPenney and Target.

The mall's redevelopment and transformation into what will be an upscale town center is part of a three-year effort between the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Vorando Realty Trust, who owns the mall, and a handful of community organizations in the Springfield area.

A site plan for the redevelopment was recently added to the Springfield Town Center website, but Ooguin said at the moment, they don't have a tenant line up for the location. Included in the lay out is a movie theatre, which will be a new addition.

The new town center is set to open in the fall of 2014.

I found the new site plan to be quite hidden on their website.
You need to go into their "Contact Us" section and then "for more leasing information, click here" AND THEN you can find the site plan!

I really hope there is much more planning than what we have found here!

When will the redevelopment of the roads surrounding the mall take place? Looking forward to having better pedestrian and bicycle access.

is the gym/health club part of the first phase with the mall or is it in a subsequent phase?
