The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) announced today that it has acquired the 11.4 acre Macy’s store and parking field at Landmark Mall in Alexandria, VA, located approximately nine miles from Washington, DC. Building on the initial rezoning approval by the Alexandria City Council in June 2013, the company plans to transform the enclosed mall, which originally opened in 1965, and the Macy’s parcel into a vibrant open-air, mixed-use community with retail, residential and entertainment components designed to create a dynamic urban village on the west end of Alexandria. In addition to a fresh line-up of retail offerings and Class A residences, the new Landmark will feature multiple plazas and green spaces, outdoor seating, an updated transit center, seasonal entertainment, public art, numerous full-service and fast-casual dining options and a luxury cinema.
