There's not much left in the Pavillions and the Civic Center end of the Mall seems to be shaping up as downtown's "fashion" district so other options need to be found. The Cottrell's building seems like an idea candidate to hold a larger fashion retailer- diagonal to the Pavillions with H&M, Forever 21, and (now) UNIQLO makes it a strong location. If would be nice if Gart Properties could acquire control of that building and expand the footprint of the Pavillions further down the Mall as the Mall really needs more of a unified retail plan that can really only be secured via having more contiguous retail ownership.
If Block 162 ever gets off the ground it could provide some great retail locations as well.
