When it took over the former Southgate mall at U.S. 41 and Siesta Drive earlier this year, O Connor Capital Partners was pretty vague about what, exactly, it planned for the property.
The investment company, which owned just 49% of Westfield Siesta Key mall uuntil it took over the remaining shares late last year, didn t provide many details about what it wanted to do with the highly visible retail center.
All O Connor said at the time was that it would rebrand the mall - which it did almost immediately, changing the name to the Crossings at Siesta Key - and add a mix of new merchants and restaurants to serve the needs and requests of the community.
