| What were they thinking when they built tie Desert Fashion Plaza? |
The Desert Fashion Plaza, once home to glamorous department stores, restaurants (including Hamburger Hamlet) and an air-conditioned walkway, is no more. The wrecking ball came down on the now-eyesore last week. The Desert Fashion Plaza is now history.
Just a week ago I walked through the parking garage to find the South entrance of the oddly-planned edifice. The massive concrete blog, a faux Southwest design nightmare, has been an eyesore right at the heart of downtown Palm Springs for more than a decade.
The property , owned by John Wessman of Wessman Development, is to undergo a rebuilding project that costs close to $100 million dollars. The new development is supposed to house a multi-screen cinema complex, condos and close to a dozen storefronts. The completion date is expected to be sometime in 2015.
