The following East Valley Tribune Article quotes Vestar's Executive Vice President as saying:
"Retail expansion has slowed significantly, and any stores that do close are hard to replace "
Although he is specifically talking about the Phoenix area, you can be sure Vestar's Oro Valley Marketplace will see a lot of empty spaces as well.
As such, once again, the forecasts that were so utterly disappointing for the previously opened Oracle Crossing & Steam Pump Village, will come up way short for this Market Place.
At least we won't be lining the pockets of these developers as quickly with those foolish giveaways Dick Johnson & his cronies approved during their tenure on the OV Council.
If you're interested in more gloom & doom, here's the article.
