Transforming the former Cottonwood Mall, the redevelopment by The Howard Hughes Corporation will include approximately 620,000 square feet of retail and entertainment, 260,000 square feet of office and approximately 600 residences. The agreement with Smith’s marks a major milestone for the highly-anticipated development.

“We are pleased to partner with the most respected and well established grocer in the State of Utah,” said Grant Herlitz, President of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “This is a pivotal first step in delivering a vibrant, open-air setting where people will enjoy the opportunity to live, work, shop, dine and play.”

Smith’s Food & Drug has signed a letter of intent to build a combination food and drug store that will offer a wide selection of prepared and specialty foods; organic food selections; bakery, pharmacy, dairy and floral as well as fresh meat and seafood. The new store will feature a multi-level parking structure for customers’ shopping convenience.
