History[edit]
Londonderry Mall opened in 1972 with 85 stores and services.
The mall underwent its first renovation in the late 1980s, transforming the mall from a simple, street-themed mall to a more open shopping environment with added skylights and enhanced lighting. The mall expanded to 150 stores and services, and increasing popularity. [1]
In late 2013, the relocation and closing of many major tenants and small stores left the mall with many unoccupied stores.
In September 2014, Londonderry Mall publicly announced a renovation and remerchandising project. Some large features will be:
- Relocation of stores within the mall, and opening of many new stores
- Relocation of the food court to the west side of the mall with exterior access
- Renovation of all mall common areas with replacement of all elevators and escalators.
This renovation is being designed by MMC Architects and GH+A Design.
Renovation[edit]
On September 18, 2014, Londonderry Mall announced that it will be undergoing a $130 million renovation. The renovation is expected to be complete in 2017.[2]
