:D Gossip and Rumors About New Construction in S.A.!

New York, New York company AAC Realty announces brand new Class A construction and more high-end shoppes coming to Rivercenter Mall!

The old five-floor Dillard's/Joske's building is planned to be the newest ballrooms of the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel. Each Floor will receive a junior to grand ballroom with 10 meeting rooms on each floor. The 5th floor of the building would be a grand ballroom. The Fashion Level of the mall would become Marriott Rivercenter Hotel's newest meeting space. Each of the stores would be transformed into a meeting room. (Similar to the meeting rooms at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center). Mall patrons would not have access to this level. The only access to this level would be through Marriott Rivercenter Hotel's big glass window located on the third floor. Parking would be affected by the transformation of the property. Centeral Parking System's Commerce Street Garage is expected to now be a relief Parking Garage owned and operated by Towne Park Valet of the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel. Fogo De Chao's valet parking will be on "A" and "B" levels. Levels "C" and "D",would become hotel patron parking. Level "E" and "F" would become Marriott Rivercenter Hotel's employee parking.

Several new stores are planned to be opened. Plans are to make the mall resemble the "Miracle Mile Shops" at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Niemen Marcus, Nordstrom, the Apple Store, Gucci, and several other high-end fashion stores are planned to open as well. The mall is also expected to have a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art video, lighting, and audio show. Unconfirmed operation of this is expected to be the existing A/V Department of the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel. A historical view of the City of San Antonio will be shown. "The San Antonio Experience" will be the unofficial name of the show.

Renovation and construction is said to start July 2010 with a finishing date of Fall 2012.
