Arrowhead mall, Chateau Apartments Preparing to Reopen

When the electronic message board at Arrowhead Shopping Center lit up again this past week, it was a sign from the mall owners that the flood didn’t get the last word.
“We are committed to restoring both Arrowhead and the Chateau Apartments to even better than their pre-flood conditions,” said Justin Fisk, director of marketing and communications for IRET Properties.
IRET reports the mall should be re-opening in early October. Although IRET still is going over lease terms with previous tenants, it is possible that most, if not all, will be back, Fisk said.
Tenants had included White Drug, Ace Hardware, the North Dakota motor vehicle and driver’s licensing divisions and a MarketPlace Foods grocery as well as other small shops, including a barber, pizza place, physical therapy and doctor’s offices.
Visitors might walk in the door and find that little has changed.
The current restoration aims to reproduce the look created during remodeling about five years ago. IRET is accommodating tenants who want some changes in their spaces, but the mall is otherwise going to look the same as pre-flood, said Kay Brunner, commercial properties manager.
