Construction is beginning on a metro Atlanta outlet mall scheduled to open next summer.
The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, in Woodstock, is scheduled to open in August 2013. The 370,600-square-foot center about 40 minutes northwest of Atlanta was originally intended to be an outdoor-shopping lifestyle center, but the plans were changed to an discount outlet mall after the recession hit, and the open-air malls had begun to fall out of favor.
Stores will include Nike, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, Brooks Brothers, Guess and Michael Kors.
The center will be located off I-575 at the new Ridgewalk Parkway exit. In a statement, developers said they expect the shopping center to draw 4 million people annually, from a three-state area. It will have covered walkways and landscaped courtyards, and is expected to generate more than $130 million in annual sales.
The project is being developed by CBL & Associates Properties in Tennessee and Horizon Group Properties in Michigan.
