CrossIron Mills is a fully enclosed shopping centre development just outside the northern city limits of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and immediately east of the hamlet of Balzac in Rocky View County. It was developed by Ivanhoe Cambridge, a major Canadian real estate company. Completed in August 2009,〔(Ivanhoe Cambridge website )〕 the mall is the largest single-level shopping centre in Alberta, containing approximately of retail and entertainment space. Immediately east of the CrossIron Mills property, the United Horsemen of Alberta (UHA) are planning to open and operate an equine racetrack facility and casino, and in fact the track was originally scheduled to be in operation by 2007, however the UHA is encountering financial issues which have delayed the opening of the facility.〔Jason Markusoff, ("Delays at Calgary-area track frustrate horse racers" ), Calgary Herald, July 16, 2009. Accessed July 19, 2009.〕 The UHA site remained technically under construction as of the fall of 2012. The first tenant to open in the mall was the first Alberta franchise of Bass Pro Shops, which opened its doors in the spring of 2009, while the rest of the mall was under construction. The majority of the mall opened on August 19, 2009.〔(Per the mall's website ), accessed July 19, 2009.〕 A final phase referred to as The Entertainment Neighbourhood opened in Summer 2010. CrossIron Mills is a sister mall to Vaughan Mills, a previous Ivanhoe Cambridge development in Vaughan, Ontario, outside Toronto. The Calgary area mall shares several of its major retailers (including Bass Pro Shops), as well as some design features. == Location == CrossIron Mills is located in Rocky View County, on the southeast corner of the QEII Highway (the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor) and Highway 566.〔(Location on Google Maps )〕 As of July 2007, when the City of Calgary expanded its boundaries, this places the property just outside the city limits, as well as just outside the hamlet boundaries of Balzac (Highway 566 links to 176th Avenue N.E. in Calgary). The southern city limits of Airdrie are only a few kilometres to the north. When driving north on the QEII, there are two exits that provide access; Exit 273 (CrossIron Drive) and Exit 275 (Highway 566). Exit 275 provides access for southbound traffic as well. Additional access to the mall via Dwight McLellan Trail, an extension of Calgary's Métis Trail, north from Stoney Trail opened in December 2009. On Oct. 29, 2011 an extension of Métis Trail was completed allowing direct access to the CrossIron Mills area from the Métis Trail/36 Street N.E. corridor, allowing an alternate north/south access to the area to Deerfoot Trail. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CrossIron Mills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
