King Of Prussia Mall 'Megalopolis' Takes Another Step

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA - Construction is rapidly progressing on a project at the King of Prussia Mall to combine two massive structures into a single “megalopolis.”

The latest development saw two of the major retailers for the expansion receive their leases: Jimmy Choo's and Diane von Furstenberg, according to Philly.com.

The building known as the King of Prussia Plaza will soon be seamlessly connected to The Court, according to reports.

The two buildings have long been separated by an outdoor catwalk.

The Times Herald notes that the merger has been a long time coming, and is the climax of a long build-up to international fame:

Over the past couple of years, both The Plaza and The Court have been gearing up for their combined world-class identity with the arrival of dozens of new restaurants and shops, such as Bonefish Grill; Grand Lux Café; Cantina Laredo; Soft Surroundings; David’s Tea; Dick’s Sporting Goods; Saint Laurent Paris and Club Monaco.

In addition, the European giant Primark opened at the mall in 2015, replacing Sears’ departure in 2014.

The goliath structure will be called simply “King of Prussia Mall.”

Construction is slated to be completed in the fall of 2016.
