A 1,720-apartment vision for Fashion Square — still only a concept
M&M Realty Partners unveiled a reimagining of Fashion Square Mall in August 2025: 1,720 residential units, 157,800 sq ft of retail, 36,000 sq ft of live-work space, and a town-center plaza with an amphitheater and festival street, with a possible 96,000-sq-ft Life Time fitness club. The concept deviates from the city-approved 2021 framework and has no approval of its own.

Fashion Square’s redevelopment is stuck between its two owners
As of July 2026 the mall’s redevelopment remains stalled: the only city-approved plan is still Bancorp’s 2021 framework — 1,400 residential units, a hotel and 177,000 sq ft of retail — and it sits unexecuted because Bancorp, which controls the buildings through a leasehold, has no deal with the Unicorp-led landowners. Meanwhile the city’s Municipal Planning Board approved a separate 378-unit Kennedy Wilson apartment complex on 6.6 acres next door.

Premiere Cinema closed March 12 — the mall’s last major tenant
The billion-dollar makeover stayed stuck while the mall emptied: Unicorp owns the land, Bancorp owns the buildings through a leasehold, and with no lease-buyout deal between them, the mall’s last major tenant — Premiere Cinema 14 — closed on March 12, 2026.

From our comments
“APARTMENTS?????? WTFFFFF”
“Crazy thought here, but how about better public transportation? We have to be the only place in the country that our rail system, Sunrail, does not operate on the weekends.”
