LA PALMERA RENOVATIONS A SPECIAL HOLIDAY GIFT TO SHOPPERS
New children's play area, Center Court and more make debut Thanksgiving weekend
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (Nov. 25, 2009) - It's beginning to look a lot like a new La Palmera as newly renovated areas continue to open in time for holidays.
La Palmera began $50 million in renovations last summer after Trademark Property purchased the mall in July 2008. As work continues on some areas, including the new Lifestyle Court main entrance area, many other areas are now completed being enjoyed by shoppers.
"We are very happy to have so many new amenities available to our customers by the holidays as promised," said La Palmera General Manager Fred Walters. "With the recent opening of the new La Palmera Cafes food court and the other elements of our renovations such as the children's play area ready to open, customers will begin to experience a whole new La Palmera."
Newly renovated areas and features include:
• The new one-of-a-kind ocean-themed children's play area (upper level)
• A 4,500-gallon feature aquarium being installed in the recently opened 600-seat La Palmera Cafes food court
• 800-square-foot community room and new mall offices (upper level)
• Coffee Beanery coffee bar and 20-foot-diameter fountain (mid-December) in Center Court
• Interactive public art including the "Turningpoint" sculpture located in a small, serene bamboo garden near JCPenney
• Concierge now located in the new West Court (near Forever XXI)
• New restrooms, including family restrooms, in the food court (lower level) and near the children's play area and management office (upper level)
• Free Wi-Fi in the food court
• Dozens of new skylights and clerestory windows to allow more natural light (mid-December)
La Palmera has also added new kiosk retail locations and updated the retail merchandise carts throughout the mall. The mall also brought in a merchandise stylist to work with the individual cart retail locations, providing helpful tips, direction and decorative items to enhance the displays and to better coordinate with the mall's new, contemporary style.
Shoppers will also notice new stone tile on floors, columns and walls throughout the mall.
