Tanger outlet mall in Antioch?

Just heard this on the news. I thought for a while, and could not come up with a worse business decision. What do you think?

They were originally going to build in Murfreesboro, but they're building a really nice business center right next to I-24, so it makes some sense to put it there too; however, there will be some less than desirables coming over there from the hood.

Tanger Malls are not indoor. That was a lot of the problem with Hickory Hollow. Also their underground parking garage was a trap. Lots of muggings in there. I was almost involved myself, once. Thugs hung out in indoor comfort, however it does make me wonder how this mall will do.  Cool springs is indoor and has faired quiet well in Williamson County.

Lebanon isn’t a rough place, yet the outlet mall there is pretty well sunk.

I wouldn't go near Antioch for any reason.

Antioch is going the same way as all Nashville neighborhoods, gentrification and development. They are spending millions in Antioch right now. Very steadily pushing property values up and those so called "undesirable" elements out.

I am in no rush to move to the area, mostly because it is Davidson County, but I worked, ate, and shopped in Antioch regularly up until about two years ago. Never once had an issue and saw some of the early signs of the reclamation and redevelopment of the area.
