On May 22, 2008, General Growth Properties (GGP) broke ground on the redevelopment of the Cottonwood Mall in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. The ground breaking comes quite a bit later than was originally expected. GGP claims the $550 million redevelopment of this 730,000-square-foot, 1960's mall will be "the most sweeping redevelopment of a property in the company’s 53-year history."
