We went to the mall once. Very empty considering the holidays were just around the corner. The only reason I think the mall went up was in the hope that it would be used by all the people who were going to invest in the new construction of the Cupecoy condos being built. Unless you're made of money, these properties, even to rent for vacation are so far out of reach for the average vacationer.
Eventually, the whole area will deteriorate due to lack of affordability. The property owners need to make it more affordable to vacation there. Worst of all, is that the citizens of St. Martin will wind up paying the price. Regardless of what takes the place of the mall, if it is unattainable to the people because of the cost, then it becomes just another eyesore to the people of the island and those who love the beach at Cupecoy.
Corporate greed at its worst!
