The design phase continued over the next two years, with the project being reworked to include indoor and outdoor retail areas, as well as condominiums.
The project would feature 1,600,000 sq ft (150,000 m2) of retail space, with the indoor portion spread across three floors.
In 2008, the project was further modified to be entirely outdoors, with 850,000 sq ft (79,000 m2) of retail space across 20 standalone buildings, each one story.
[2] The project was in an early phase of planning at the time of its announcement,[1] and the next two years were spent on design work, with Howard Perlman as architect.
[2] By 2006, Triple Five planned to incorporate 900 condominiums into the project, including two high-rises measuring 250 feet in height.
Some nearby residents opposed this idea, citing concerns about increased traffic and a lack of backyard privacy.
Work was underway on utilities and roadways, and Triple Five assured nearby residents that the project would proceed despite the Great Recession, with a potential opening in 2010.
The 850,000 sq ft (79,000 m2) mall would have 160 retail spaces, and occupants would include JCPenney and a Regal Cinemas.
