We live close to the intersection and would LOVE to see change happen. Someone posted on another blog that there was a rumored foreclosure about to happen. Anyone heard anything about this?

Great Article!

Great job LHT! A comprehensive, balanced piece which includes the perspectives of all the key players. Kudos to Kathy Stewart and the LHAIA LUC for their time, energy and vision so that we can be ready to share that vision with developers who can make it happen. More residential and reworked retail is the way to go and will indeed have a ripple effect.

Rumors have been around about that shopping center for years, LH ABC. I've heard them all....including the one you are talking about.

As resident gift guy here on Audelia / Walnut Hill I am cautiously optimistic about this discussion. We are very appreciative of the business that Lake Highlands has given us over the past year and were thrilled to be able to expand our gift store and open My Office. I guess you could say that we are living proof that this intersection is good for small business.

All the talk of foreclosure is pretty meaningless. From what I am told, IF the property went into foreclosure it would mean very little past a bunch of paperwork and may open additional opportunities for re-development.

Either way - we are thrilled to be on this intersection and will work hard to help improve it...as long as we get to stay!

My wife loves your shop, David. T.Hee has been a welcome addition to the shopping center.

"additional opportunities for redevelopment" amounts to a lot more than just moving papers around, in my opinion.

Do you rent from Todays Realty Advisors, David? Is the property currently under a joint venture with Todays Realty Advisors as the Managing Partner? If so, and it the bank forecloses, who does the paper shift to? The bank? I can't imagine a bank is going to want to own that property for very long. In fact, relative to redevelopment opportunities, a distressed debt sale within the TIF would be a very good thing if the right buyer came along.

This is very exciting news! I am definitely ready for some "new life" to be attracted to this important piece of LH land. Thanks to T.Hee and Highlands Cafe for being the torch-bearers in showing the definite "upside" to new developers. The current center ownership group needs to go "bye-bye"...yesterday! T.Hee and Highlands are making it, though I am sure it is not easy. Just think if and when they actually have a managing PARTNER who can and will fill the voids with other succesful businesses! It is win-win for our community all the way around!

These articles were very interesting to us as our property is ajacent to this shopping center. From our moving in 7 years ago, we've seen a marked decline in the retail space. We are very pleased with the new energy from T.Hee Greetings and Highlands Cafe and the donut shop have held steady as a viable business.

We would LOVE to see this property re-developed to include residential. We're not fans of the zero lot concept but would rather anything compared to what we have now.

Thank you for putting together such an interesting piece!
