Construction for the Palladio Mall is going at a fervent pace... the first tenant is almost ready - Palladio 16 Theaters. With all-digital screens and 6 digital 3-D screens, the new theater looks to be a gem. There's a charity sneak preview on December 9. * http://www.gopalladio.com
The economic downturn has hit Palladio Mall... while work continues on the project, they are down to 2 work crews instead of 6. Whole Foods and Barnes & Noble have renegotiated to open in October 2010, though 16-screen Cinema West theater is anxious to be open in time for the 2009 Christmas season.
The developers of Palladio Mall are on shaky ground financially. Financial concerns caused their stock to tumble 37% today. Traders are worried that General Growth (GGP) will not be able to pay their $4 billion in debt. It is unknown what effect will happen to Palladio Mall, currently under construction.
Palladio Mall, which has seemingly taken forever to become a reality, may open its doors in one year. The parking garage is currently being constructed, and Phase I is on schedule for a 2009 opening. Barnes & Noble, Whole Foods, and Cinema West will be the anchor tenants of the new outdoor mall.
Barnes & Noble is coming to Folsom; it will be part of the Palladio outdoor mall, which is now expected to be open in 2009. And hallelujah, inside Barnes & Noble wil be... Starbucks!
The Palladio Mall tenant list is starting to grow. Now rumored (but not confirmed) is an Apple Store. Other tenants may include a Whole Foods, PF chiangs, and a new theater.
Palladio Mall seems to finally be making progress, as bulldozers are starting to get moving again. 200,000 yards of dirt are being brought in to the construction area next week, and will cause significant traffic issues between Costco and the mall area.
The mysterious Palladio Mall, rumored to be coming to Folsom since the late '90s, has finally secured a tenant - Cinema West, a 16-screen theater. Other businesses rumored but not confirmed, include Whole Foods, PF Chang's, Barnes & Noble, and Coldwater Creek.
Announcements on major upscale tenants for the forthcoming Palladio Mall at Broadstone are anticipated in Q4. Boutiques, dpartment stores, and a 15-18 screen theater are expected at the new outdoor mall. Construction may begin as early as 2006.
Plans for a combination hispital-outdoor mall are under review by the Folsom Planning Commission. The mall will be anchored by 2 major tenants, as well as a multiplex theater. The city envisions this as an area of centralization, where people could meet up year-round. Full story in the Telegraph.
Largely overshadowed by the new Palladio at Broadstone mall, Kaiser Permanents will be building a large hospital right next to it. The hospital will come in 3 phases, complete with a 50-acre campus,
430-bed hospital, outpatient surgery centerm asnd 4 new medical office buildings. More information in the Sacramento Business Journal.
On December 15th, Folsom's Planning Commission is expected to officially approve the Palladio at Broadstone project, an $80 million outdoor mall, which could be built as soon as 2007. The mall is different from conventional malls, but following an urban trend of main street, "open air" environments. Details in the Sacramento Business Journal.
Folsom's highly anticipated mall in the Broadstone area will be called "Palladio at Broadstone", named after an italian architect who has designed villas in Italy which are tourist attractions. Palladio at Broadstone's open-air environment will include at least one building with the designer's style and may include a statue. More in the Bee.
