Macerich MAC recently announced that a two-level, locally owned entertainment destination, Pindustry, will anchor its mixed-use outdoor development project, HiFi, which is adjacent to premier retail destination FlatIron Crossing in Colorado.

HiFi at FlatIron Crossing will feature NOVEL FlatIron by Crescent Communities, a five-story luxury multifamily residential community with 345 units currently under construction at HiFi. Phased openings at HiFi are scheduled to begin in 2027, including the openings of Pindustry and NOVEL FlatIron.

HiFi is a 25-acre mixed-use outdoor hub that broke ground in summer 2024 to provide a convenient, stylish living experience with unmatched walkability. Macerich’s HiFi at FlatIron Crossing combines multifamily living, shopping, dining and entertainment with lush green spaces.

Pindustry, a Colorado-based entertainment company, will open its second location at HiFi at FlatIron Crossing. It offers a combination of bowling, arcade games, food, cocktails and live music. Pindustry at HiFi will have 34,000 square feet of entertainment space.

Per Jack Hsieh, president and CEO of Macerich, “An important aspect of our Path Forward Plan is investing in and fortifying our Fortress and Steady Eddy properties, which include FlatIron Crossing. HiFi at FlatIron Crossing is designed to do exactly that, bringing together best-in-class entertainment and dining options, appealing green spaces for year-round programming, alongside luxury multifamily residences that deliver a built-in customer base for everything this thriving property has to offer its growing trade area.”

Conclusion

The combination of luxury living and entertainment fosters a welcoming environment that motivates both residents and guests to engage with the property. As a result, this boosts foot traffic, which, in turn, enhances rental income.

The company’s shift toward re-use and mixed-use properties through recapture and repositioning of anchor tenants remains a key emphasis, while bringing brands to new markets at its mall will likely attract shoppers.
