After hearing that this mall would be closing and demolished at the end of this month, I knew I needed to go check in out before it was too late.
I've always known this mall existed, but I never actually been in this mall until this visit, which unfortunately is now both my first and last visit.
The interior portion of the mall is set to be redeveloped into housing, while some exterior stores, such as HomeGoods, Sprouts, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin, and Walmart will remain intact. All the interior stores, such as Bath and Body Works, Ulta Beauty, and Ross were in the process, or already closed.
The mall also formerly had a Sears and JCPenney as anchors which have both since closed, and a Cost Plus World Market which also closed. The former World Market seems to have held some sort of local furniture retailer for a brief period of time, but I believe the former World Market building is also set to face the wrecking ball.
The former Sears is owned by Transformco, so that building will remain in place for the time being despite being vacant. I have no idea what Sears/Transformco has in store for the space in regards to redevelopment.
At the bottom of Piccadilly, where it meets Kirkgate, is this impressive building, the Old Exchange Building. It was used a centre of commerce for the town (Piccadilly was originally called "Exchange Street") until it was considered too small, when it was superseded by the Wool Excange around 1867. It was then used as the town's post office; it's now used as offices.
On Feb. 23, 2023, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey broke ground on the $4.2 billion project to develop a new Terminal 6 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Construction of the terminal is on schedule, with the last beams of steel expected to be erected this summer and the first gates to open in 2026.
JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company selected to build and operate Terminal 6, is developing the new international terminal in two phases, with the first five gates opening in early 2026 and construction completion expected by 2028. Lufthansa Group has announced it will move to the new terminal, operating flights to several European gateways and creating a world-class lounge experience for guests travelling on its group of airlines that includes Lufthansa, SWISS International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines. Advanced discussions with other air carriers are underway.

Derelict buildings along the river front at Greenwich. No doubt for the building of more glass boxes. The footpath will no doubt be closed for months while the work is don.
Due to climate change, I would guess that more portability and less property ownership will need to be the future for places like Florida and California.
Florida with encroaching seawater into water tables and building foundations bubbling up through the limestone as seawaters rise and storms surge.
California with not enough water as the Colorado River goes almost dry and other water sources, that serve agriculture and forestry, dry up as well.
Much as business sometimes doesn't like change, change will have to happen. More mobile homes and businesses.
Farmers in California's Central Valley, who (I read) a few have plowed under croplands that no longer have water allocation. They are now installing solar panels where orchards once stood. Food sourced from new areas.
Property ownership and national boundaries may have to give way to a more mobile and flexible future.

Another view of Arndale House and the former Swan Arcade site on the left of Broadway. On the right stood the Ritz Cinema, later the ABC, until it was removed after the 1960s. I'm not sure if it was demolished, or just built around - anyone know?
Redevelopment of Bellingham's waterfront, where Georgia Pacific used to be, has been in the process for a long time.
Some condos being constructed, in the background, were slow to get started. Seen trough the turtle window.
There are some Bellingham residents who aren't real enthused about the condos.
Still, one can see progress on the construction site through windows in a plywood wall. The plywood wall has become a pallet for many artists.
If one zooms in on this picture, there is a poster, also put on the wall, looking for job applicants to work in construction.
Yes, without workers, construction doesn't progress.

I took this photo in May 2006 through a gap in the security fencing around the construction site. This was previously a public space with some benches plus the Peerless Jim statue, located in the shadow of some new corporate offices and just before going under the Bute Street bridge. The statue looked rather forlorn. The building site and the statue are actually still recorded in the Google Map satellite imagery (accessed March 2010): see my note below. Even the *new* corporate offices at this site bit the dust, to be replaced by a new tower block as late 90s/C21st Cardiff joined the British high-rise revival
The Driscoll statue was originally located here because this is where his Irish Catholic neighbourhood was. From the mid-nineteenth century this area has underone a succession of urban "improvement" or redevelopment projects, and a number of these phases have displaced the Catholic community.
The staute was erected in 1997 on the site of the Central Boy's Club, where Driscoll used to train. Driscoll was born in Ellen Street in the Irish Newtown neighbourhood nearby; ; its now the Centre Trading Estate and the Tyndall Street Industrial Estate at the Herbert Street / Tyndall Street area on the other side of the railway line. The Newtown Memorial Garden and sculpture was built here around the year 2000, since when the construction of the new Etap Hotel on Tyndall Street has hemmed the garden and sculpture in somewhat (see photo below).
In the back of this photo of the Driscoll statue we see a bridge under the railway where School Street - blocked off here - continued from here towards the Newtown neighbourhood (School Street is still shown on current maps: see the photo below).
