CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) today announced completed redevelopment projects at Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, North Dakota; Sunrise Mall in Brownsville, Texas; and Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, North Carolina with more planned in the coming months.

“Over the last several years, we have invested in our properties to transform vacant anchor space, underutilized parking lots, and land parcels into new, exciting uses that add value to our properties,” said Stephen Lebovitz, chief executive officer. “During the first half of 2022, we celebrated the addition of new-to-market dining, entertainment, and retail options in locations across our portfolio. The latter half of 2022 will bring more planned openings, including Von Maur at West Towne Mall in Madison, Wisconsin.”

At Dakota Square Mall in Minot, North Dakota an expanded and remodeled SCHEELS store opened in a former Sears building on July 9, featuring 110,000 square-feet of retail and 75 specialty shops. At CBL’s other North Dakota property, Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, the former Herberger’s parking lot was transformed into pads for Blaze Pizza, Chick-fil-A, Five Guys, Pancheros Mexican Grill, and Thrifty White Pharmacy, all of which were open as of May 2022.
