SouthPark mall has announced two new tenants that will open in the Hecht's wing this fall.
They are Torrid, an apparel retailer targeting young, plus-sized women; and Delia's, also a retailer of young women's clothes and accessories.
SouthPark, which has been remodeling, expanding and adding tenants for several years, is owned by Simon Property Group of Indianapolis.
The company is moving ahead with development of a mixed-use project on its mall property and will soon oversee a sizable expansion at Dillard's, one of the mall's anchor tenants.
Simon Property recently filed a proposal with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission to add 90,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and office space, as well as 150 apartments, on Sharon Road at Morrison Boulevard.
The mixed-use development plans were a part of the contentious rezoning of the property in 2000 that allowed the mall to expand by 140,000 square feet for a total of 1.75 million square feet.
The $100 million makeover has transformed the mall into a luxury retail mecca featuring anchors such as Seattle-based Nordstrom and Dallas-based Neiman Marcus.
The recent proposal by Little Rock, Ark.-based Dillard's Inc. to expand its SouthPark store by 47,500 square feet needs city approval.
Charlotte City Council will review the Dillard's expansion July 18, with a final decision expected Sept. 19.
Opened in 1970, SouthPark tied last year with Concord Mills as the largest area shopping center in the region. Each mall had 1.4 million leasable square feet.
I wish a Torrid and a Delias would come in my parts. I'd have to buy my clothes at Torrid, but I could buy my shoes at Delias.
