Ridgeland, MS shopping center Renaissance at Colony Park, which opened its doors in March of 2008, is getting ready to welcome its second wave of tenants.

There may be a big celebration soon to greet the arrival of a number of tenants that have moved into the mall this summer, Renaissance spokeswoman Jan Mattiace has said.

The $230 million open-air shopping center, located on Highland Colony Parkway, welcomed apparel retailer Banana Republic Monday. Upscale restaurant Ruth's Chris Steak House is opening its doors July 14, while Justice For Girls tween clothing store will be opening up July 22.

Mint restaurant, an upscale version of Jackson restaurant Julep, also is expected to begin service this summer.

"It's been exciting watching the retailers moving in," Mattiace has said. "Other stores will continue to open during the next few months based on their construction schedules or as we are worked into their corporate opening schedules."

Renaissance opened in March with a handful of national and local tenants and a big grand opening celebration. More tenants came this summer, including Francesca's Collection clothing and jewelry, Pink Bombshell women's apparel, Smoothie King and others.

Some type of gourmet hamburger restaurant, an artisan market and a sushi and martini bar are expected to join the mall soon.

Shoppers can expect to see about 60 tenants in all, including up to eight eateries and a Hyatt Place Hotel, when the mall is complete, Renaissance officials said.

But Renaissance of Ridgeland MS won't be whole until its focal feature is complete. It's under construction now. The three-tier 60-foot clock tower is being built at the axis of the two main cross streets of the mall.

Construction workers can be seen atop the structure, painting and adding other touches.

A rendering of the tower shows a a creme-colored structure with clock faces, an elegant balustrade on the second tier and a copper dome.

"I think it is a really nice focal point that helps add to the ambiance of the streetscape," Ridgeland, MS Alderman Chuck Gautier said, admiring the tower.
