The move represents a capital investment of approximately $2 billion and is expected to create about 4,000 jobs.

Post-pandemic, market-wide retail vacancy decreased to 3.3 percent at the end of 2022, which is two percentage points less than the rate at year-end 2020, but in line with the 15-year record low mark set in 2018.
