Outlet projects falter in Michigan

Two outlet mall projects in southern Michigan have been abandoned and another will miss its scheduled opening date, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.



A plan for outlets to dominate the new Chesterfield Town Center has been scrapped. Developers recently landed a commitment from Cabela’s to serve as an anchor and are courting other big boxes to join in. In Canton, developers ditched a plan for an outlet mall near an Ikea there after concerns over low traffic.



Outlets of Michigan near the Detroit Metro Airport had planned to open this year, but developers have yet to name anchor tenants for the 80-store center and say it will not open on schedule.
