Info
Fashion District Philadelphia is a revitalization zone to be anchored by a renovated mall at the former site of The Gallery at Market East. The area was originally planned to be an outlet mall to be called "Fashion Outlets of Philadelphia", but the plans were later changed to be a new "retail district" consisting of clothing stores and a movie theater. Tenants such as H&M and various other chains have signed leases. The new mall is planned to open in 2018. Planners have envisioned that Philadelphia as the sixth largest city does not have a major retail center when even compared with Kansas City, the 37th largest city. The mall is envisioned to fill that "void" that even smaller cities have, to sell items to the Central City market that has only up to now only been available elsewhere. Many of the new retailers planning to open have never had a presence in Center City before.
