Newly signed tenants in the development that will be new to the market include apparel chain Forever 21 and restaurant concept Johnny Rockets. Among the other stores to open are American Eagle Outfitters, Charlotte Russe and Pacific Sunwear.
Some of the tenants already announced in the Village, the development's open-air portion, include a 150,900-sf Lowe's Home Improvement Center; Springhill Suites, a 115-room hotel; PNC Bank; First Commonwealth Bank; and a convenience center. On the food front, new tenants include Longhorn Steak House, Eat 'n Park and Steak 'n Shake. These retailers join previously announced tenants Wal-Mart Supercenter and Sam's Club.
The selection of retailers at The Village is designed to complement the planned tenant mix at The Galleria, the 1.1 million-sf enclosed mall piece of Pittsburgh Mills. The Galleria will be anchored by Kaufmann's, J.C. Penney, Linens 'n Things, Dick's Sporting Goods, NASCAR SpeedPark, Lucky Strike Lanes, Sears Grand, Borders Books and Music and a Cinemark theatre.
The Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills will open July 14, 2005. Tenants at the Village at Pittsburgh Mills will open in the following months. Additional tenant announcements for both pieces of the development are expected in the near future.
Mills is developing Pittsburgh Mills with longtime German investment partner Kan Am and the locally based Zamias Services Inc. KanAm is one of Germany´s major private syndicators and asset managers of international real estate investments. Zamias is a privately held retail real estate company that recently shifted its focus from the development of middle market regional shopping malls to the development of Wal-Mart anchored power centers and the strengthening of its third party management business.
When the center opens, it will be the Mills Corp.'s second in Pennsylvania. The company also operates Franklin Mills outside of Philadelphia.
