So the newest and largest shopping areas in the city are what you are going to base that on? How was Eastland, Westland or the former Northland? What happened to City Center? For every new development of a big retail destination, another seems to more or less die. That suggests a saturated market to me. Which one should be sacrificed this time? Tuttle?If people don't want to travel and shop at Eastland, Westland or Morthland I wouldn't say there isn't a need for development.

I just hope the folks in charge have the sense not to subsidize these projects with road expansions or other perks.

Is Columbus Ready for Two New Outlet Malls?
Published on January 11, 2013 8:00 am
By: Walker
During the height of the 2012 shopping season you may have noticed a pair of announcements about two (yes, two) new large scale outlet mall developments planned at the interchange where Interstate 71 meets State Routes 36 and 37 (the Delaware/Sunbury exit in Delaware County).
While the Columbus Underground Messageboard has already been buzzing with plenty of discussion on this topic, we decided to get an expert’s opinion to figure out what exactly this development news means and find out whether or not Columbus really needs two new retail centers located just 10 miles north of the Polaris Fashion Place mall. And when we need an expert opinion on retail, we turn to Chris Boring of Boulevard Strategies, who has previously provided us with thoughtful and educational commentary on Downtown Retail, the Retail History of Columbus, and Yearly Retail Trends.

And now there are three, though this one is in Licking County ...
3rd developer joins battle to build outlet mall
Brian R. Ball
Staff reporter- Business First
developer from Illinois has its eyes on property off Route 161 in New Albany for what may turn into a third competitor in the race to develop an outlet complex in Central Ohio.The region should expect only one outlet center to be built, experts say, and it may be years before one opens.
Horizon Group Properties Inc. has identified the northwest quadrant of the Beech Road interchange in western Licking County as the site for an outlet center. The Rosemont-based developer has not revealed the size of the proposed center, where retailers often sell overstock and “second-quality” merchandise.

Why are outlet malls becoming so popular, and suburban malls seem to have all but leveled off in the last few years?
Meanwhile, downtown retail centers are on the rise, as well, I guess...

According to the Dispatch, a FOURTH outlet mall has been proposed. This one's in Madison County, just off of I-70, halfway between Columbus and Springfield. The developer is Glimcher, who built Polaris.
