Early? Wasn't the opening originally scheduled for Sept 15, 2006?

105,000 sq. ft. of retail probably means 12 restaurants, an art gallery and a Kinko's.

I didnt see the big screen tv.

The front courtyard would look dramatic when they put a giant Xmas tree there.

saturday night i walked inside, and it's a nice area to walk around, too. the escelators to the second floor reminded me of citywalk. it's a shame someone already smashed the glass of one.

article states that the first residential tenants will be moving in in January. I havnt heard a thing from the developer regarding the closing on my unit. Has anyone heard from them? Would be nice to have some time to line up financing.

I called the Solaire sales office today and inquired. Then told me that a closing schedule should be coming out in the next month. She also said that they didn't know in which order (i.e, bottom to top, top to bottom) the closings would occur. She did say that they were "on schedule" whatever that may suggest.

With all these little restaurants going in it is going to resemble a giant food court anchored by a movie theater.

Hi, I just joined but have been reading for quite some time. Thanks for the news on the closing schedule. I have a unit at the top. I hope the closings go from bottom to top!

Nice to meet you all.

Hey, Michelle ! Are you going to have us over for a housewarming ?

Hey, Michelle ! Are you going to have us over for a housewarming ?

Well...It's was an investment from the start, but I sometimes consider living there. It's a bit small for my long term needs, but short term...you never know. I live in Baltimore as of the moment. I'll be in Orlando on 11/13-11/14, so I'm going to check it out! If I ever do live there, I'll be sure to have you all over

Except that usually a food court doesn't have nice restaurants. And the people hanging out there won't be your simple "mall people".

You're right, they'll be homeless.

I am not 40. Anyway, a lot of older European can pull it off.

I've been to several places in Europe, and don't really remember seeing much A&F or Hollister. What I did see looked like it was on tourists. They (Europeans) seemed to layer with clothing that didn't have logos all over it. Or just not layer it in the summer.

[JFW657]

I'm not sure exactly what a "mall person" is. I suppose on those rare occasions that I go to a mall, I'm a "mall person" up until the point at which I leave the mall. Then I'm a..... "car person"?

BTW.... would Millenia Mall people be looked down one's nose at as "simple mall people" too? Or is there another category for them?

Just curious.

An "ever so-slight improvement" over the old Woolworth's and McCrory's buildings formerly occupying that site.
