Ward Centre to expand

The new owner of Victoria Ward Centers is moving ahead with a planned addition to the shopping complex after nearly two years of reassessing the Kaka'ako property.

Chicago-based General Growth Properties plans to carve about 10 new retail shops with landscaped outdoor seating areas from what is now the Ward Centre parking structure fronting Auahi Street. The new shops could open by late next year or early 2006.

The new owners of Victoria Ward Centers plan to carve out 10 new retail
