CBL and Horizon start expansion of Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass

Chattanooga, Tenn. -- CBL & Associates Properties and Horizon Group Properties have begun construction on the second phase of The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, near Louisville, Kentucky.



The 53,400-sq.-ft. expansion is scheduled to open this November and will bring eight more retailers to the center including H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, The Limited Outlet, and Johnny Rockets. The outlet shopping center, located off Interstate 64 between Louisville and Lexington, opened July 31, 2014.



“The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass has been successful since its opening last July due to the collection of retailers and the ideal location,” said Michael Lebovitz, executive VP – development and administration for CBL. “This expansion allows us to add even more great retailers to the mix.”



The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass is a joint venture of CBL & Associates Properties and Horizon Group Properties. Horizon and CBL are co-developers of the project; Horizon is responsible for leasing and managing the center.



Phase II is scheduled prior to the 2015 holiday season.
