Participating in a January 19 announcement at the Town Center’s Town Square were PTC developers Mall Properties, with President Mort Olshan, and Steiner + Associate’s CEO Yaromir Steiner, along with Hampton Mayor Molly Ward and PTC General Manager Raymond Tripp.
“Many of these new tenants, including The Wine Loft, dELiA’s, Shoe Woo and CinéBistro are either new to the state or new to the region,” says Steiner, who, along with property owner Mall Properties, is developing PTC. “Our success in attracting these best-in-class retail and hospitality tenants is a testament to the strength of this project, this market and this region.”
The list includes many of the nation’s strongest brands including Aéropostale, Victoria’s Secret, Express, Build-A-Bear, Charming Charlie and Lane Bryant. Among the 15 restaurants listed are several that are making their Virginia debuts, including Bensi’s Ristorante Italiano, Huey’s Diner, Kenji Fusion and (coach) Frank Beamer’s American Grill.
“This is the right project, in the right location, at the right time,” said Hampton Mayor Molly Ward. “Our community asked for an upscale, energy-filled mixed-use project. We are getting a good first look at that quality today with the announcement of these great and exciting retail, restaurant and entertainment tenants.”
“We have emphasized critical mass, proper scale and the right tenant mix at PTC,” says Steiner. “By seamlessly integrating retail, dining, office, residential and public space elements into an inviting open-air environment, we have employed the same fundamental principles of town planning that have created and maintained vibrant city centers in this country for more than a century.”
