[CONSTRUCTION THREAD: Magnolia Park Town Center]

Rooms To Go has started construction. The store on Haywood Road will close and move here when complete. The rest of Magnolia Park is on hold until the economy improves.

This information is partially correct. Yes, the developer did close on the sale of a parcel to Rooms To Go last week and they started construction this week. I would expect to see more information about this in the press shortly. However, Magnolia Park is not on hold. In fact, I understand the developer has been finalizing deals with several large tenants. It appears that this is one of the few real estate projects in this economy that actually has activity going on. This is most likely due to the success of the existing retailers at Magnolia Park - Regal is doing exceptionally well as the #1 volume theatre in North and South Carolina, Costco is doing great business as the Magnolia Park store does twice the volume of Spartanburg, and the Bed Bath & Beyond store in the #1 Bed Bath in the state. It is also obvious the developer must have exceptional relationships with its tenants to get deals done in this market. I hope we hear more good news out of Magnolia Park soon!

Go ahead. As I never stated that I know more than the developers, I'll take that as a compliment, as that view would be only yours. Which one of us has stated things about Magnolia Park that are directly contradicted by Menin's own publicly-available information? Not me.

Re-read my post and the Menin Development website.

I stated that people on this board are familiar with Harold's and Parisian and that a simple review of Menin Development's website contradicts your prior posts about its development. FYI Eric Faires and I had talked in depth about Parisian's fate- does that name ring a bell?

I'm lost. what tenants are they trying to bring here? does anyone know
