The developer behind the plan to bulldoze the Fairfield Commons shopping mall is working to bring some tenants from the dying mall to the Eastgate Town Center shopping center that will replace it, he said Monday.

Citi Trends, which has a location in the mall off Nine Mile Road in eastern Henrico County, will be one of the tenants at the Eastgate Town Center, which will be anchored by a Walmart.

Peebles, which also has a space in the mall, will be in the new shopping center. And a Dollar Tree store also is headed to the site, Joshua W. Rector, a senior vice president with Arizona-based Bromont Developments LLC, said Monday. Bromont is the firm behind the project.

“We’re working to be very diligent in trying to keep these mall tenants and at the same time get in some new tenants,” Rector said.

Two other current tenants are in talks to fill spaces in Eastgate Town Center, and Rector hopes to have those discussions finished in the next couple of weeks, he said.

The current mall is almost 300,000 square feet, and the new retail space will be slightly bigger, Rector said.

It will have about 1,300 parking spaces, according to the planning documents.
