Exactly. Taubman sold its "B" properties and kept the "A" properties, including Twelve Oaks. It's one of Taubman's top Midwest properties.

Some of these vacancies [[at least by Nordstrom) are due to prosperity, not decline. Again, H&M is building a huge multilevel store, when it used to have a small store. This requires large, empty blocks of space. I believe Lululemmon is also relocated, and building a much bigger store.

When a new store enters the Michigan market, Twelve Oaks [[alongside Somerset, and in some rarer niche cases, Birmingham and Downtown/Midtown) are the first options.

Here's an article about an online women's retailer, opening it's first MI store in Twelve Oaks [[right next to Nordstrom, no less, the space possibly photographed by Lowell.).
