Developers are proposing a new ‘lifestyle center’ to be built in Corpus Christi, TX:

CORPUS CHRISTI - Another large retail shopping center is in the works and this one looks to change the shape of the area along the new Crosstown extension. The proposed center would be built on Holly road between the Crosstown Expressway and Greenwood.

In a time where the city of Corpus Christi is seeing residential growth, developers are also interested in it’s economic potential, and this proposed site they call “Crosstown Commons” is the latest in shopping center plans.

Representatives from CBL & Associates and the Hawkins Company presented the plan for Crosstown Commons to city hall.

It’s what’s called a lifestyle center, which is a newer type of retail market like the ‘La Cantera’ shopping center in San Antonio. The plans for Crosstown Commons feature an pedestrian-friendly outdoor mall area aimed to be a regional center catering to areas outside of Corpus Christi.

Looking at the satellite view from Google Maps, I think we can see exactly where this center is going in:

This development has a proposed opening date of 2009.
