Delray Beach, Florida and San Clemente, California face competition from new lifestyle centers.
December 2, 2011
In the news this week comes two different stories about new lifestyle centers being built not too far from existing Destination Main Streets. It's interesting to note that the articles themselves make no mention of the nearby Main Streets.
The first article comes from the South Florida Sun Sentinel and is about a development in Delray Beach, Florida. The project is called Delray Marketplace and is being billed as a shopping and entertainment complex. Delray Marketplace will be on the far western edge of the city on Atlantic Avenue. Delray Beach's own Main Street is mostly centered around Atlantic Avenue on the far eastern side of town close to the beach.
The second article comes from the Orange County Register and is about a development in San Clemente, California. This project is called Plaza San Clemente and is described as an outlet mall. However, a wide variety of uses will be located there, including restaurants and a movie theater so it almost sounds more like a lifestyle center that just happens to feature outlet stores.
It's good to see developers explore a variety of retail styles and no longer focus on the traditional mall. However, it's also important not to forget the Destination Main Streets located just a short distance away that are also filled with shops and restaurants, many of which are more unique than those found in the new developments nearby.
