Completely agree with Chad. I’d prefer to stop putting my money into the Denver market and keep it here in the Springs. Options are limited. We need something like this up here.

I strongly disagree. Speaking for the Northside of Colorado Springs…a vast majority of people looking for high end shops don’t go to Macy’s second store – they want variety, they go to Park Meadows. A short drive to Highlands Ranch is easily overcome by the selection of restaurants and high end shops. This venture – if it goes through and I believe it will, will change the face of Colorado Springs…there will be an economic boom felt for decades to come. Colorado Springs residence have money and the City council understands that location location location matters. The location selected for this project is more than ideal, it is a dream site for retailers.

Once again the City council has done a ready, shoot, aim projcet with taxpayer funds
How stupid to try and bring those stores in here when Macy’s second store could not even
make it. There are not enough high end buyers in Colorado Springs to support this type of
project – take a look at the existing malls – they are all struggling. This is a joke!! So in five years
they will build it, in 2 years it will be bankrupt and there will be no tax revenue for anyone….
go figure!!
