After closing in 2006 after almost 30 years of operation, Richardson Square Mall is getting a much-desired facelift.
Developers are pouring $20 million to convert the former enclosed mall into an open-air shopping center. Project manager Patrick Garza told Community Impact the renovation is “full steam ahead,” with the hope that the transformation will turn the mall into an “entertainment zone.”
The new Richardson Square Mall will be built around a food hall created by Garza’s company National Food Hall Solutions, which will include the first U.S. location of Japanese grocery store Aeon and additional restaurants and retail spots.
Garza says the January winter storms caused some delays in construction, and it will take a few months to finish the outside of the structure, followed by the interior work.
He hopes to get “something out” by late summer or early fall.
