Traffic, wrecks and I-35W construction be damned, it was announced late yesterday that The Outlets at Alliance will open in the fall of 2015, bringing 250,000 square feet of reduced-price goodness to the Alliance corridor in far north Fort Worth.

Now, no matter where you're coming from—north, south, east, west—if you're like us, you avoid the interstate at all costs. (Unless it's essential to your commute, of course.) This news might just reduce you to tears (not the good ones) for fears that you may never be able to get to the place. So, there's that.

But let's focus on the positive. While no tenants have been named yet, an exec quoted in the Star-Telegram article says that "some of the most prominent brand names" in the industry will be sure to sign leases there.
