I have read speculation of supermarket Publix coming to Innsbruck Mall. Publix’s Charlotte Division media and community relations manager has said Publix has no plans for a store location at Innsbruck Mall. Also, I do not know if Ingle’s is still leasing the former location of Ingle’s #7 Mark I, and if it or Innsbruck Mall’s owner prevents another supermarket or grocery retailer from moving in.
Has anyone heard speculation of Publix seeking additional sites in the Tunnel Road trade area for a future store location?
It’s been done before. http://www.businessinsider.com/americas-first-shopping-mall-is-now-micro-apartments-2016-10
Everything EXCEPT Office Depot and Big Lots will be demolished in these preliminary plans.
Nahhh…Bulldoze that property and build something that peopled want to actually visit. I’m all for preserving Asheville’s past…but sometimes some things are not worth saving.
The marketing materials are weird. They don’t map to the existing map, and talk more about the developments by the Asheville Mall than the actual property, so either I’m misreading them, or the aim is to demolish everything and convert that space into a U-shaped strip mall. Except we don’t see any renderings for that.
I’d be happier to see infill/refit development: Innsbruck Mall is pretty sad on the inside, but it’s structurally sound, and I wouldn’t want to see quirky local places like Ball Photo uprooted.
The Chunns Cove Rd exit on I-240 is a mess already, even without new development on that intersection.
An indoor market like North Market in Columbus Ohio would be amazing there.
I see a lot of potential here. With downtown being so crowded with tourists, this would be a great alternative for locals. Lots of free parking, easy access and a charming retro vibe.
Some of that “free parking” is going to be consumed by the new hotel that’s coming in behind the McDonalds and Mikado… and the guests that will stay there.
They’ve tried to polish this turd before… and it didn’t work.
Parking,Parking,Parking will determine the demise, in the long run.
