Malls are a thing of the past

#msg5975602Malls are a thing of the past With the latest incident at Deerbrook mall, I've read so many comments comparing it to Greenspoint mall and it got me thinking about something. In a lot of cities, malls are being repurposed. Either the existing building demolished and something new rebuilt or the existing building remodeled into something new and functional, like housing. In today's world, people mostly purchase online line and malls are sort of becoming obsolete. Deerbrook was my hangout in the 90s and even then it was outdated. If that mall were to be repurposed, what would you want it to be? I'd vote for a full tear down and remodel of that whole plot of land. There is way too much concrete with the unused parking spaces. I'd imagine with the population growth, a beautiful multi functional commercial space. Similar to Generation Park or the very walkable part of the Woodlands with nice restaurants mixed in with corporate buildings. Humble is making a lot of changes in the right direction with updating older buildings, welcoming in new restaurants (i.e; In-n-out in 2027, updating exterior painting of a lot of buildings, and so on) Obviously I'm not a billionaire and can't make this happen, but I am curious what you'd like to see that space turn into, if you had the choice.
