I thought this article was interesting:
Jimbo’s is suing Westfield Horton Plaza. The 15 year contract they signed stated Westfield would operate a “first class regional” shopping center, and clearly that hasn’t been done.
So not only are they bleeding tenants, one of the few that remains is suing them for millions.
I wonder if this will help expedite the redevelopment?
It’s really a shame Westfield let it get to this point. Hopefully an overhaul will happen soon. I do go to Jimbo’s every couple of weeks and each time it seems like HP gets more seedy. Not only are many of the stores closed, but I noticed yesterday they aren’t even doing basic upkeep like painting and structural repairs.
I think if they put street level retail along 4th it would do really well with all the foot traffic from the Gaslamp
