Summary, model-written

Retrofit completed in 2006 as an open-air lifestyle center. Current use: retail (Dick's Sporting Goods, Floor & Decor as anchors), entertainment (movie theater, game room), and restaurants. Status: operational (not abandoned).

Why. Retrofit already built (2006), confirmed by events timeline (2006 demolition/development, 2008 partial demolition). Current anchors active (Dick's acquired 2004, Floor & Decor noted in after_notes).

Where it stands. Not available for new development (opp_score: 0.0; reason: 'retrofit already built').

For a planner

  • No new construction planned (approved retrofit complete)
  • Traffic: I-96 (6 lanes, 143k ADT) nearby
  • No nearby competitors within 10km (cluster count: 0)

For a developer

  • No opportunity: retrofit is operational
  • Current retail mix stable (anchors active, no recent closures beyond Sears 2019)

What we do not know yet

  • No data on current occupancy rates
  • Housing market strong (ZHVI $365k) but irrelevant to retail status
  • Peer comparisons (e.g., Fairlane Town Center) not actionable
