Aside from new shopping options, the renovation will bring fireplaces, art installations, a feature pond, enhanced landscaping, new sidewalks, upgraded seating and lounge areas, fresh paint, new lighting and new food options including M Burger and Rise Pies.
Once the addition is complete, the mall will include 170 stores and 688,000 square feet of shopping space.
