The new owners of The Shops at Willow Blend are planning a $100M makeover to help the shopping center reach its potential.

Starwood Retail Partners purchased the shopping center from Taubman Centers Inc. last year. The company plans several major additions, including a Class-A office building, a hotel and an entertainment district with up to eight restaurants. Starwood is working through plans for another anchor fashion store and residences, the Dallas Morning News reports.
