Future Developments
Mall official announced in 2008 that the mall planned to undergo an extensive renovation, projected to cost $53 million. As part of a deal with the city, Broomfield would commit almost $26 million to reimburse Macerich if the project moved ahead. However, the recession delayed this project, and as of 2009, it was put on hold indefinitely.
Many tenant changes are expected in 2011; the mall opened in the year 2000 and 10-year leases are set to expire. Major brands such as McDonald's and Cinnabon, as well as other retailer and restaurants, have decided not to renew their agreements. Mall spokesmen have stated that tenant changes are a natural process for shopping centers. However, others believe the mall is on a downtrend; adding to their view is the fact that no replacements have been found for some of the stores planning to close.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or developments:
“It has no future but itself—
Its infinite contain
Its past—enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
