Summary, model-written

Alderwood mall (1.1M sq ft GLA) is under construction as a redevelopment to housing and retail. Brookfield Properties is the developer. The former Sears anchor is being converted into 328 apartment units with lower-level retail, connected via a new mall entrance to a new outdoor plaza. Completion is scheduled for spring 2022. The site is verified as a draft record with two sources. Location (city/state) is not specified in the record. Peer projects include six similar-sized malls (1.1M–870K sq ft) also redeveloping to mixed-use, per context. The record lacks details on full site conversion scope beyond the Sears space.

Why. The record confirms active redevelopment with specific physical changes (Sears conversion, plaza), scale (1.1M sq ft), and developer. Peer context shows comparable projects. Missing: exact location, full site redevelopment plan, and post-2022 completion status.

Where it stands. Under construction, with Sears conversion underway. No public completion date confirmed beyond the 2022 target. Context peers are all redeveloping with similar scale and strategy.
