The District at Cool Springs Galleria

Galleria mall to add open-air "lifestyle center"

FRANKLIN -- CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., owner of three Nashville-area malls, announced plans today to build an open-air shopping, dining and entertainment area called The District at CoolSprings Galleria.
The 200,000-square feet of space would feature "a targeted selection of junior anchors, an array of high-fashion boutiques and quality sit-down restaurants in a luxurious outdoor atmosphere," according to the announcement this morning. The first phase would be ready in 2011.It would be built on existing parking lots to the north and west of the mall.
“We are pleased to announce plans for this latest enhancement to CoolSprings Galleria, which builds on the success of the center and will cater to the growing upscale demographic,” said Stephen Lebovitz, president of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. The annoucement follows development of open-air "streetscape" type centers in Murfreesboro, in west Nashville, and adjacent to the Green Hills Mall.
CBL owns the mall, which was extensively remodeled in 2006, and retail areas to the north, called Cool Springs Crossing.

Im ready for Nordstroms to come to Cool Springs rather than Green Hills. There is more parking and it would be great for the area.
