I don't know that, that area is actually rumored to be for Apple, it's certainly a possibility, but I don't think it's an actual rumor.

That wasn't the Apple Store location. It was in the Town Center.

The central area that is already built and filled with a tenant.

The space Apple was negotiating for is filled.

Which space was that?

I thought D15 was the space rumored to get a pretty big tenant I know Apple had been talked about but I don't believe it was ever very serious on here. As for the location it was from world of coke facing toward where the Columbia store is (as you can probably tell).

D15 is a two story space so is quite large. The maps have it color coded as a restaurant, but it's possible that has changed.

Didn't realize that was two stories. Hard to imagine a two story Apple Store if that were to be the tenant. Most I've seen are one story. Any word on B 17-115?

It is becoming more common as new locations tend to be more stand alone spaces versus a traditional mall tenant space.

Most larger/flagship Apple Stores are 2 stories with a glass staircase.

Sounds like Zara, Under Armour or UNIQLO

Typical Apple store themeing would match the Coca-Cola store, so it would "play nice" with the backstory.

Photo update as of Thursday, July 28. The pavement work in front of T-Rex Café and the connecting bridge between the Marketplace and Riverboat Square is almost complete. A behind the wall view....
By the way, it seems "Riverboat Square" is the new name for the area in front of Paddlefish and Portobello Country Italian Trattoria.

Riverboat Square is a nice name, but I always liked the former "Lillypad" name as it was a reference to Lillian Disney.

Photo update as of Saturday, July 30. The bridge between the Marketplace and Riverboat Square is now open, with just some brick pavement yet to be completed behind a small walled-in area. The bridge is clear of all kiosks as they are still located in Riverboat Square.

Photo update as of Monday, August 29. Sometime ago, these tiles were added to the four insets on the second level escalator platform at the Lime Garage, as well as above the two elevator doors.
