Simon Property Group broke ground Thursday on Tucson Premium Outlets, a mall planned on the south side of Twin Peaks Road between I-10 and Linda Vista Boulevard in Marana.
The mall will have 366,000 square feet of leasable space, and the company says stores will offer products including apparel and shoes, fashion accessories, leather goods, home furnishings and specialty goods.
Simon Property Group says the center will have more than 90 retailers, but it has not announced tenants.
Construction is expected to bring 300 to 500 jobs to the area. Upon opening, the center is expected to employ more than 800 full- and part-time associates.
