Lobo Crossing—the new open-air shopping center under construction near Gibson and I-25—will bring new shopping and dining options to UNM students, nearby residents and visitors attending games and events. The approximately 365,000-square-foot development will be anchored by Target and is expected to include HomeGoods, Marshalls and other retailers, with Jersey Mike’s and additional dining options to come.
