Northcross Redevelopment - 1st Look

Here's the elevation of the Northcross redevelopment that was shown to the Allanddale neighborhood at last night's meeting with representatives from Lincoln Properties. The development will  include a 200,000 foot Wal-Mart, a Walgreens, a new Chaparral Ice Rink along with many of the existing stores. The Wal-Mart will go in where the current Sports Authority is. Many of the existing tenants of the mall will be moved to a redeveloped mall on the east side where Beall's currently is. Walgreens will  sit out in front facing Anderson Ln. The Wal-Mart multi-level  parking lot is the building facing Anderson Lane at the bottom of the elevation. Wal-Mart sits behind it. We will provide you with a full report on what we learned from last night's meeting later.

Thanks for the great update! Our neighbor Kay has been a GREAT champion and voice, providing meeting minutes and updates.

I noticed that Walmart said they would be open to suggestions for the design or plans. Im no architect...nor am i opposed to development...but has anyone given them ideas on how to make this store "Austin-like" as opposed to the basic "cookie-cutter" walmart store? Maybe something along the lines of a Central Market look? I also know that Walmart is beginning to market demographically...i might even be willing to change my "Target ways" if they were to create a "cooler" store...or am i not reading enough and this is actually the case...?

Warm Regards,
