 It is believed to be the first indoor shopping mall to be converted into apartments in the United States.Several spaces on the first floor were made into street-facing venues for retail and commercial use, and although they took a couple of years to lease out after the initial construction, now include stores such as Starbucks, Sprint, Rite Aid, and Buffalo Wild Wings, as well as several local, upscale restaurants, stores, and nightspots.This redevelopment of the mall property is partially credited with helping to revive other nearby sections of downtown.
