Indoor Sports Complex to Backfill Sears at Columbus’ Polaris Center

FieldhouseUSA will anchor planned mixed-use redevelopment efforts at two of Washington Prime Group’s town centers, including Polaris Fashion Place in the REIT’s hometown of Columbus, OH. The multi-purpose indoor sports complex will replace a former Sears location at Polaris.

Washington Prime will do likewise with the soon-to-close Sears at its Town Center  in Aurora, CO. The REIT said both town centers are situated in prime locations in densely-populated corridors within their respective catchment areas, and FieldhouseUSA is expected to draw a significant increase in annual visitors, benefitting existing tenants and generating strong future leasing demand for both retail and mixed uses.

New retail and complementary mixed uses are planned for both projects, with additional details being announced in the future. In February, Washington Prime announced that it would replace a Sam’s Club location in Auburn, WA with a Fieldhouse USA, the first to be announced outside Texas.
