General Growth Properties Inc., the second-largest U.S. shopping mall owner, lost a bid to stop construction a new retail center in Glendale, California, that's planned for a site next to the company's Glendale Galleria.
The approval of measures A, B and C in a special city election will allow developer Rick "THe Grove" Caruso to build a $264 million open-air mall on city-owned land adjacent to the Glendale Galleria, the largest retail center in the Los Angeles suburb. Measure A won 51.8 percent of the vote, Measure B won 51.4 percent, and Measure C obtained 50.9 percent in yesterday's election, according to the city Web site.

Sun, September 19, 2004 - 8:41 AMI attended some of the council meetings (I am in commercial real estate) over a year ago when they were making the decision between Caruso and Snyder so I don't know how the plan has changed since then but I remember how much they wanted a good mix of retail, open spaces and residential elements as well. -

The land in the area of proposed development is pretty much dead. Overgrown lots, old falling-apart buildings, and general crudeness make that part of the city a very unsavory area. Also, there is a general need in the national economy for more jobs.
On the other hand...
The behemoth will squeeze out smaller neighboring businesses. All the mom & pop stores that make Glendale what it is will suffer in the shadow of a looming corporate giant. That, and the poor planning for parking can only mean difficulty for us locals.
