Oakwood Center�s reconstruction as the West Bank�s premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination for New Orleans area shoppers is moving full speed ahead. With more than 1,000 construction workers, engineers, and architects working on Oakwood Center, the nearly 1 million-square-foot center is set to re-open in the fall of this year. �The re-opening of Oakwood Center signifies more than just another business opening. It is a commitment to helping restore this great city to what it was prior to Hurricane Katrina, and make it even better,� said John Bucksbaum, chief executive officer of General Growth Properties. Oakwood Center -- a 947,000-square-foot, 68-acre retail, dining and entertainment destination -- is anchored by Dillard�s, Sears (both currently open) and JCPenney. The center will also include: three sit-down restaurants; 360,000 square feet of specialty shops (regional and national retailers); and a 20,000-square-foot food pavilion. �The shopping center is being rebuilt with a timeless and contemporary feel that shoppers will enjoy,� said Chris Roberts, Jefferson Parish councilman.
