Competing Texas and Oklahoma malls face delays near Westdale
Two Cedar Rapids retail developments by Vector Properties Corp and Woodmont Properties are delayed as both fight for the same tenants. Vector eyes 266000 square feet on 24 acres along Edgewood Road SW, Woodmont plans a 227000 square foot strip mall west of Edgewood Road and Williams Boulevard SW. Both projects aim to start construction next spring or summer, with leases and land-purchase hurdles clouding final approvals amid ongoing legal snags and tenant competition.
