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. Oakwood Rebuild Replacements: Signage
