Activity at Summerlin Centre Mall?

Almost anyone that has driven on 215 West by Charleston has seen it. The steel skeleton that stands as one of the Valley’s reminders that the economic slowdown has effected those us of with budgets large and small. I’m talking about the Summerlin Centre Mall (or Red Rock Mall) which was due to have 5 or 6 anchor stores such as Macy’s, Dillard’s, Crate & Barrel with up to 300 stores overall.

Work was halted in late 2008 with the developer, General Growth Properties, citing the economy and lack of financing to continue the project. General Growth Properties then declared bankruptcy protection shortly thereafter. However in the past few days there has been some activity around Summerlin Centre Mall. Several trucks and some heavy equipment (bulldozers and backhoes) have been seen around the property. There has been no formal announcement as of yet, but it could be possible that work may be starting back up soon to complete this project and add some much needed jobs to the local economy. If we find out more information we will let you know!
