LEGACY POINTE TOWN CENTER is approximately 277 acres in size and is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of I-72 and the new MacArthur Blvd. extension in Springfield, Illinois.  LEGACY POINTE is a mixed-use development located on the City's southwest side.  The Development has been zoned PUD-1, a Planned Unit Development, which allows for planning flexibility but requires a commitment to a mix of uses and significant amount of open space.  

   The focal point of the Development will be the "Lifestyle Center" which is proposed to combine large anchor retailers with retail boutiques, specialty stores, restaurants, entertainment facilities, and a hotel in an outdoor setting with street-front locations that reflect the City's rich history of varied architectural influences.  The Lifestyle Center is planned to provide a higher level of amenities including water features, an interactive fountain, outdoor entertainment venues, interludes of landscaped areas, park benches, and green space for walking and bicycle trails throughout the Development.

   Other proposed features of the Development include a power center along the highway with space to feature more traditional big box retailers; a highway commercial area that will include a gas station, fast-food locations, and a hotel; a local commercial area that may feature a grocery store, drugstore, and local retailers providing for the needs of nearby residents.  The first phase of the Development will begin with the construction of the SCHEELS retail store.
