(March 28, 2025) —  Forever 21 has declared bankruptcy for a second time and expects to close over 350 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico by May 1, unless a new buyer purchases the business, court filings show.

F21 OpCo, LLC, the company and licensee of the brand in the U.S., filed a Chapter 11 case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware this week.

“The company may pivot away from a full wind down of operations to facilitate a going concern transaction. If there is an actionable going concern proposal that warrants stopping ongoing store closing sales, the company will exercise its business judgment and determine the appropriate course of action,” a spokesperson for the fast-fashion retailer told ABC News.

Brad Sell, the chief financial officer of F21 OpCo, LLC, cited international competitors and growing costs among the reasons behind Forever 21’s downturn.

FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. (March 27, 2025) – Liv Communities, in partnership with Wespac Residential, Inc., and Vintage Partners, has officially broken ground on Liv Sky Cottages, an innovative housing development in the Timber Sky master-planned community.

Located on 32 acres, Liv Sky Cottages will feature 203 thoughtfully designed rental homes, including 117 one-bedroom, 35 two-bedroom, and 51 three-bedroom residences.

Liv Sky Cottages will seamlessly integrate with Flagstaff’s unique landscape, incorporating sustainable building practices and adhering to International Dark Sky standards to minimize light pollution. Residents of Liv Sky Cottages will enjoy a thoughtfully designed living experience with a variety of amenities that promote connection, wellness, and sustainability.

The community will feature a dog park, playground, garden beds, walking paths, and gathering spaces to foster a vibrant neighborhood atmosphere. Additional conveniences include bike storage, a compactor, and EV chargers, as well as we hope to include an Envoy car-sharing service to support eco-friendly transportation options.

For outdoor recreation, residents can enjoy three frisbee golf targets, a checker/chess area, and easy access to Flagstaff’s natural beauty. Select homes will also include solar panels, reinforcing the community’s commitment to sustainable living.

Wespac Residential is leading the site’s infrastructure development, which includes grading, earthwork, utility installation, concrete paving, landscaping, and site fencing.
