Macerich Co., which owns the Santa Monica Place mall, recently unveiled its plans to raze the current mall and replace it with three 21-story luxury apartment towers. There also will be an extension of the Third Street Promenade to Colorado Avenue and two other high rises with retail and office space, affordable housing and park space.
Some love the plan, which will generate millions of dollars for the city by creating a new downtown. Others say it will ruin the Santa Monica skyline.
So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “Do you support the idea? Why or why not?”
