Simon owns University Mall in Little Rock and McCain Mall in North Little Rock.

The first project will be a 500,000-SF mall in Hangzhou, a city of 6 million outside of Shanghai, one of the richest regions of the country. Its projected cost is between $65 million and $70 million.

Each of Simon Property's shopping centers will be anchored by Wal-Mart. Other shopping centers it develops in China will run 430,000 SF to 750,000 SE
