The shopping center would have opened on schedule on January 1, 2014, if it had not been struck by a severe tornado in December. Instead, it opened for business on October 1, 2014. All of the additional construction costs that were incurred as a result of the tornado were covered by insurance.

\r\n

In July 2013, in anticipation of the scheduled January opening, a permanent staff had been hired to promote the shopping center, obtain tenants for the uncommitted space, and manage the property.

A summary of some of the costs incurred in 2013 and the first nine months of 2014 follows.
