@OvertheHorizon and @Imagineerland for me. Both were really talented in the Sydney Disneyland group project and in other areas too. I remember reading Horizon's websites and they were great.
If it's still up for debate, I'm in favor of a regular CityWalk, whereas these types of outdoor malls are common nowadays. CityWalk stands out from among outdoor malls.
In the process of catching up with this thread. Have a long way to go. Had no idea the competition had been dropped in favor of one project. Loving it so far!
