Grapevine Mills to get $40M facelift

GRAPEVINE – Simon Property Group has announced that the Grapevine Mills Mall will undergo a series of visual and structural updates, valued at $40 million.

The renovations will “de-theme” the mall, eliminating much of the overhead visuals and using lighting and other elements to focus attention on the stores instead, according to General Manager Joe Szymaszek.

The renovations are expected to last until October 2015.

The major focus of the renovations includes raising the storefronts and common areas to the roof deck level.

The renovations will be completed in four phases, with most of the work planned to occur while the mall is closed to limit inconveniences to shoppers and retail outlets. The first phase of the project will focus on the area between the food court and Neighborhood 6.
