Overview

Michigan's largest one-level shopping mall is laid out in a racetrack oval that encompasses 1.4 million square feet. The mall includes high-end outlet stores such as Off 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet and Neiman Marcus Last Call Clearance Center as well as value retail options, including a Harley Davidson outlet. More than 200 stores plus restaurants and entertainment outlets are divided among six architecturally separate themed areas. The theme concept is ubiquitous. In the Rainforest Café, there are mechanical animals and ersatz thunderstorms, and at the Alcatraz Brewing Company, the décor and personnel are prison-related. A high-tech indoor playland called GameWorks was developed with filmmaker Steven Spielberg's help. It's a shopper's paradise.
