Domain is GROWING!!!!!!

Phase II of the Domain: Open for BusinessThe Domain mixed-used project by the Simon Property Group has become one of the most divisive and high-profile development projects in Austin, TX.
The battle over the massive tax subsidies promised to the Domain that were a big part of the decision to move forward with the project in North Austin got quite heated and lead to an intense political battle in 2008.
It's changed the face of mixed-used in our city, has dramatically altered the real estate and retail environment in North Austin, and has brought high-end retail previously unavailable in the South to Austinities spending like crazy despite the recession.
Along with projects such as the Triangle in central Austin, it's changed the local real estate game for good. And just recently, after years in the making, Phase II of the 600,000 square foot Domain project opened its doors on April 23rd.
Read on to learn more about the recent grand opening at the Domain including which retailers are going to be present, and what's to come in the future for the project in 2012 and 2013.

Retail GaloreThe Phase II project and its stores actually had a soft opening back in February, so many shoppers have already grown accustomed to the presence of the new businesses. But not they are all officially open for business.
The HUGE mixed-used property has 136,000 square feet of retail. The biggest players in Phase II are Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillard's, and a large movie theater called Gold Class Cinema.
