Summary, model-written

Bloomingdale's at the Mall of America opened as a department store in 1992. The site is redeveloped (status: built) with new retail use, including four foreign clothing stores. Peer malls (e.g., Winter Park Mall, City Center) opened 1985-1999 with same redevelopment strategy. The 2009 event was a decision to close and replace Bloomingdale's, but redevelopment is complete.

Why. Record states redevelop strategy, new retail use, four new stores, peer comparisons, and 2009 closure decision. No completion date for redevelopment provided, but status is 'built'.

Where it stands. No details on redevelopment timeline beyond 2009 decision. No financials, tenant mix, or site size provided.

For a planner

  • Peer strategy matches: redeveloping older malls (1985-1999) with similar retail focus.

For a developer

  • New retail use confirmed, but no specifics on tenant types beyond 'foreign clothing stores'.

What we do not know yet

  • No timeline for redevelopment completion. No data on current occupancy or financials. 'Foreign clothing stores' not defined.
