This "dumbell plan" mall, with a department store on each end, was officially dedicated in August 1967. It was Alabama's fifth fully-enclosed shopping hub. In 1967, BEL AIR MALL spanned approximately 514,600 leasable square feet and housed fifty stores and services...all on a single level. 

BEL AIR MALL in 1974. A South Wing (in medium gray) has just been completed. It adds over thirty stores to the mall directory, including a third anchor. With this enlargement, the 923,800 square foot complex has become the largest mall in the state. It will hold this distinction until being trumped by Birmingham's RIVERCHASE GALLERIA, in 1986.

BEL AIR MALL was expanded again in the early 1980s. Parisian joined the complex and 37,000 square feet of store space, including a 10-bay Food Court, was added in an extension of the South Wing (in dark gray).

Between 1995 and 1997, the South Wing was reconfigured. Target was added as a fifth anchor, replacing the mall's Food Court. The Parisian, Sears and Dillard's stores were also renovated and-or expanded. A new owner came on board in 1998. They renamed the complex COLONIAL MALL BEL AIR in mid-2000.

The COLONIAL MALL moniker was in place between the years 2000 and 2007. After this, the complex was promoted -once again- as BEL AIR MALL.

The mall's fourth anchor operated as a Parisian for 23 years. In September 2007, the store was rebranded as a Belk. It would trade under that nameplate for 9 years.

The shuttering of the BEL AIR Sears, in 2015, provided an opportunity for Belk to establish a new location at the mall. The vacant store was thoroughly renovated, with the new and improved Belk opening for business in October 2016.

Soon after the inauguration of the new Belk, stores began opening in a Streetscape that was installed along the north-facing facade of the mall. Sit-down restaurants, such as P.F. Chaing's China Bistro, Baumhauser's Victory Grille and Texas de Brazil, served their first meals between February 2017 and August 2018.

Meanwhile, a new mall moniker -THE SHOPPES AT BEL AIR- had been bestowed in late 2016. Taking into account its new Streetscape, the shopping hub now covered approximately 1,345,000 leasable square feet and housed 103 stores, with an additional thirteen kiosks.   

The snapshot above, and the one that follows, are contemporary views of the mall's shopping concourses. Here we see the main entry corridor.

In late 2020, New York's Kohan Retail Investment Group assumed ownership of SHOPPES AT BEL AIR. In mid-2022, there were seventy-seven operational stores, ten kiosks and ten freestanding businesses.

The SHOPPES AT BEL AIR Streetscape had a rough start. Tenants opened in 2017 and 2018. All but two had been shuttered by late 2020. Three sit-down restaurants were eventually brought in to fill vacant spaces. These opened for business during 2024.

BEL AIR MALL

Airport and Bel Air Boulevards 

Mobile, Alabama

The Azalea City's first fully-enclosed shopping center was built on a 99-acre parcel, located 4 miles west of the center city. The complex, designed by Washington, DC's Herbert H. Johnson & Associates, was developed by a joint venture of Kenneth R. Giddens, William Lyon, Jay Altmayer and the Mobile-based Mitchell Company. 

 

On August 16, 1967, BEL AIR MALL was officially dedicated. The complex had been named due to its location at the intersection of the Beltline Highway (Interstate 65) and Airport Boulevard. Inside the mall, a 900-foot-long shopping concourse was decorated with nine Grecian statues. These had been cast -in 1850- for the grounds of Greater Paris' Palace of Versailles. 

 

In its original state, BEL AIR MALL encompassed approximately 514,600 leasable square feet, with its anchor stores being a 1-level (104,400 square foot), Mobile-based Hammel's and 1-level (142,800 square foot) Sears. Charter tenants included Lerner Shops, Goldstein's Jewelers, Singer Sewing Center, Piccadilly Cafeteria, Dipper Dan Ice Cream Shoppe and a (52,000 square foot) F.W. Woolworth 5 & 10. 

 

There were originally four freestanding structures in the periphery of the mall. The Giddens & Rester Cinema was built as a western outparcel. It showed a first feature on April 5, 1967. A Convenience Center in the east parking area housed a (14,300 square foot) Winn-Dixie supermarket. There were also Hammel's and Sears auto centers.

 

The shopping center was located across Airport Boulevard from SPRINGDALE PLAZA, which had opened in 1959. This open-air strip complex was renovated into the enclosed SPRINGDALE MALL in 1973-1974. As a keeping up measure, a 409,200 square foot South Wing was added to BEL AIR MALL. It featured a 2-level (191,000 square foot) J.C. Penney, which opened for business on September 19, 1974.

This project included a new second level for the Hammel's store, which had been rebranded by New Orleans-based D.H. Holmes in 1973. This location now encompassed 208,900 square feet, with the mall now housing approximately 1,028,250 leasable square feet. BEL AIR MALL was now Alabama's largest shopping center, a distinction held until the completion of Birmingham's RIVERCHASE GALLERIA, in February 1986.

Birmingham-based Parisian built a 1-level (90,000 square foot) store at BEL AIR MALL, which was completed in February 1984. This was part of a 127,000 square foot South Wing expansion, which included a 10-bay Food Court. Some of its vendors were Sbarro the Italian Eatery, The Cracked Crab, Satay Club Oriental Food and the Peanut Shack. 

A minor competitor came on the scene soon after. MOBILE FESTIVAL CENTRE {.6 mile west, in Mobile} was one of -if not- the first power centers in the Southeast. It was dedicated in the autumn of 1986. In 1989, the Hammel's-Holmes store was rebranded by Little Rock-based Dillard's. The following year, the mall was given a major face lift, with new signage, exterior landscaping, exterior facades and entrances installed.

A third expansion was undertaken in 1995. As a part of this 40 million dollar project, the Food Court was demolished, along with six inline store spaces. These were replaced by a 1-level (116,000 square foot) Target, which held its grand opening on July 28, 1996. Parisian expanded into adjacent mall area, taking out twenty inline tenants. This store now encompassed 126,000 square feet. Sears received a second level and new exterior, with the store now covering 232,800 square feet. The Dillard's building was also renovated. The massive mall refurbishment was completed in November 1997.

Birmingham-based Colonial Properties Trust entered into a joint venture with New York City-based Prudential Real Estate Investors and acquired BEL AIR MALL in December 1998. The complex was renamed COLONIAL MALL BEL AIR in the summer of the year 2000. In November 2005, a 90 percent share in COLONIAL MALL BEL AIR was sold to a joint venture of Australia's GPT Group and Babcock & Brown. 

The complex received minor damage from Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. It re-opened in just 3 days. Within 10 days, the mall was enjoying a massive surge of business, as there were no other large shopping centers open along the devastated coastline.

In 2007, the official name of COLONIAL BEL AIR MALL reverted back to BEL AIR MALL. Parisian was rebranded by Charlotte-based Belk on September 12th. In November 2008, Los Angeles-based Forever 21 dedicated a (26,200 square foot) XXI Forever store in a portion of the Woolworth space, which had been vacated in July 1997.

In May 2014, BEL AIR MALL became a holding of New York City-based Rouse Properties. The shopping facility now spanned 1,345,000 leasable square feet and contained over 130 stores and services. Sears closed for good in September 2015. Belk renovated the building and relocated from their existing BEL AIR MALL store. The new Belk was dedicated on October 12, 2016.

An "interior cosmetic revamp" was performed between January and November 2016. At the same time, an exterior-entranced Streetscape and new Main Entrance were installed along the north-facing front of the complex. As part of these renovations, the mall's name was changed to THE SHOPPES AT BEL AIR. Rouse Properties, and its portfolio of thirty-five shopping malls, was sold in July 2016. The buyer was Toronto's Brookfield Asset Management.

The first two Streetscape tenants opened in the following year. P.F. Chang's China Bistro was dedicated on February 13, 2017, with Grimaldi's Coal-Brick Oven Pizzeria welcoming first diners on February 20th. Unfortunately, Grimaldi's, P.F. Chang's and Texas de Brazil had all been shuttered by November 2020. 

 

At this time, the mall changed hands. Great Neck, New York's Kohan Retail Investment Group became its new proprietor. Soon after, a new tenant was found for the original Belk building. Surge Entertainment by Drew Brees featured bowling lanes, sports simulators, laser tag, a video game arcade and snack bar. The facility opened for business on June 15, 2023. 

 

Ownership of the mall changed in March 2024, with Hollywood, Florida's 4th Dimension Properties becoming the new proprietor.  J.C. Penney shuttered their 50-year-old BEL AIR store on September 22, 2024. At the same time, vacant Streetscape spaces were being filled. The Yummy Boba Tea, Bakery & Milk Shake Bar assumed the vacant Grimaldi's space. The Olive Grill retenanted Texas de Brazil, while Tao Hot Pot & BBQ leased P.F. Chang's empty storefront.

Mobile's Springdale Plaza / Mall

This logo was created to promote Mobile's first suburban-style shopping center, in 1959. Typical of retail-oriented trademarks of the time, it used a slanted, script-style font.

SPRINGDALE PLAZA, circa-1963. The open-air shopping center contains forty-six stores and services beneath its canopies. It was located at the intersection of The Beltline Highway (Interstate 65) and Government Street Road. The name of this thoroughfare was changed to Airport Boulevard in February 1961.

Mobile's hometown department store anchored SPINGDALE PLAZA for over 37 years. Gayfer's Springdale welcomed first shoppers in February 1960. One of the primary features of the store was its Kopper Kettle restaurant.

The trademarks of seven charter tenants are featured on our SPRINGDALE PLAZA logo montage. These stores opened their doors in late 1959. We threw in the Montgomery Ward "Blue Bar" logo for good measure. This store opened at the PLAZA in 1974.

 

 

Following the latest trend in American retail, the open-air plaza was rebuilt into a partially-enclosed mall in the mid-1970s. This graphic was produced as part of that renovation. It was re-created by -and for- the Mall Hall of Fame.

In 1974, the complex was being expanded with a fully-enclosed East Wing (in dark gray). This addition was done as a keeping-up measure with BEL AIR MALL, which was located directly across the boulevard. The SPRINGDALE PLAZA Montgomery Ward was built with 2 stories. The first was comprised of a 120,500 square foot sales floor. The second was a partial level devoted to storage and offices.

By 1989, a new McRae's and expanded Gayfers are connected with an enclosed West Wing (in medium gray). The mall now contains eighty stores and services under its roof, with free parking provided for 5,000 autos.

By 2002, the complex is known as simply SPRINGDALE. We see beginnings of the mall's metamorphosis into a big box-based power center. Small store spaces have been gutted and reconfigured as large Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, Goody's and Linens 'n Things stores. The West Wing has been partially demolished and replaced by Best Buy. With these improvements, the mall covers around 926,400 leasable square feet and houses forty-seven stores.

SPRINGDALE TENANTS 2002:

DILLARD'S (with Beauty Salon) / McRAE'S (with Beauty Salon) / After Hours Formal Wear / AmSouth Bank (outparcel) / AmSouth Mortgate Company (outparcel) / Barnes & Noble Bookstore / Bebo's Car Wash (outparcel) / Best Buy / BLP Paints / Blue Rock Wireless (kiosk) / Burlington Coat Factory-Baby Depot / Catherine's ladies' wear / Dante's Pizza / David's Bridal (outparcel) / Diamond Wireless (kiosk) / Dollar Tree / Eye Masters / Garfield's Restaurant & Pub / Goody's Family Apparel / Great American Cookie Company / Gymboree / Linens 'n Things / Man Style men's wear / Mastercuts / Merle Norman Cosmetics / Morrison's Cafeteria (outparcel) / Old Navy / Petries ladies' wear / Rave / Shampoo II / Springdale Cinemas 11 / Staples / The Discovery Path / Tip N Toe / Toys-R-Us / Wherehouse Music

A turn of the 21st century East Wing view. Going from left-to-right, we see Linens 'n Things, the SPRINGDALE south mall entrance and Staples.

An in-mall motion picture venue at SPRINGDALE was in operation for 31 years. It started out, in 1974, as a 6-plex. Five additional screens were added in 1991, for a total of eleven. Over the years, the venue was operated by American Multi-Cinema, Carmike Cinemas and -then- Marquee Cinemas. It was permanently shuttered in 2005 and demolished in 2021.

The SPRINGDALE McRae's, which opened in the summer of 1984, was rebannered by Belk in the spring of 2006. The store would co-anchor the complex for over 10 years.

The power center conversion was completed with a newly-built Sam's Club, in 2005. In this circa-2014 plan, we see that freestanding businesses now surround the mall. These include Logan's Roadhouse, David's Bridal, Romano's Macaroni Grill and a Piccadilly Cafeteria. There are now fifteen stores operating in the mall proper. These all have exterior entries, as the enclosed shopping concourse has been closed to public access since 2008. 

A store exodus was underway by January 2016, with Best Buy and Old Navy moving to new quarters in the up-and-coming McGOWIN PARK power center. The SPRINGDALE Belk went south (literally) in September, followed by Staples, which closed in January 2017. In 2018, Burlington (Coat Factory) was one of seven stores still in operation in the mall proper.

The SPRINGDALE Marshalls and Sam's Club stores remained open for business, as well.

Our sixth SPRINGDALE plan dates to 2025. Burlington jumped from the East Wing to the West, assuming a vacant Best Buy. The ground floor of the abandoned Belk has also been repurposed, with new Shoe Station and Cost Plus World Market stores. A fitness center and medical clinic reside in a portion of the old "Monkey Wards." The closed-off shopping concourse has been demolished, making the complex entirely open-air.

SPRINGDALE PLAZA

Government Road (Airport Boulevard) and Interstate 65

Mobile, Alabama

 

The first regional shopping center in the Azalea City was built on a section of reclaimed wetlands. Portions of Wragg Swamp were drained in the mid-1950s, with a 45-acre section, located 4 miles west of downtown Mobile, being set aside for a prospective retail complex. SPRINGDALE PLAZA would be developed by Mobile's Delaney Realty Company.

News of a 1.5 million dollar department store, to be built for Mobile's C.J. Gayfer & Company, was announced in December 1958. The new Gayfer's would be the chain's second branch, following locations in downtown Mobile and Pensacola, Florida. It would be designed by Atlanta's John J. Hart firm and encompass 1 level and approximately 82,900 square feet.

SPRINGDALE PLAZA was originally an open-air, strip complex. It was officially dedicated on November 19, 1959. Among forty-six charter tenants were W.T. Grant, J.C. Penney, Elliot's Jewelry, Zales's Jewelers, Albright & Wood Drug, Singer Sewing Center, Metzger Brothers Store For Men, Weatherby & Wood Furniture Company, Sally's Bridal Salon, a Colony Cafeteria and Delchamps and National Stores supermarkets. Gayfer's held its grand opening in February of 1960.

The shopping hub became freeway-accessible on January 4, 1963. On this day, a 6.8-mile section of The Beltline Highway-Interstate 65 opened to traffic. This new thoroughfare passed along the west side of the shopping center site.

SPRINGDALE PLAZA served as a catalyst for the development of the western environs of Mobile. In August 1967, the fully-enclosed BEL AIR MALL {.2 mile south} was completed. This was followed by various retail establishments that lined both sides of Airport Boulevard.

By 1973, both SPRINGDALE PLAZA and BEL AIR MALL were in the throes of expansion. A new wing was being added to the south side of BEL AIR MALL, which would snatch J.C. Penney from SPRINGDALE PLAZA. As a countermeasure, a fully-enclosed East Wing was built at SPRINGDALE PLAZA.

Anchored by a 2-level (140,900 square foot) Montgomery Ward, the East Wing included approximately forty-five stores and services. Its American Multi-Cinema Springdale Cinemas 6 showed first features on June 18, 1974. Following the completion of the East Wing, the name of the shopping hub was changed to SPRINGDALE MALL & PLAZA. This was eventually truncated to SPRINGDALE MALL.

In the early 1980s, store structures on the west end of the plaza were demolished. In August 1983, construction began on a 2-level (160,000 square foot), Jackson, Mississippi-based McRae's. The store, fourteenth in the chain, held its grand opening in August 1984.

A new retail rival opened soon after. MOBILE FESTIVAL CENTRE {.6 mile southwest, in Mobile} held its official dedication in 1986. In October 1988, a (33,600 square foot) Toys "R" Us opened at SPRINGDALE MALL. This was created out of the northwest corner of Montgomery Ward, which had downsized into a Montgomery Ward Specialty Store.

By this time, demolition was underway on both sides of Gayfers. The store had been enlarged in 1966 and 1976 and now encompassed 3-levels and 280,000 square feet. It became the Gayfers flagship. Simultaneously, a new section of enclosed mall, encompassing twenty-one store spaces, was built. 

This new West Wing connected Gayfers and McRae's. With the completion of all construction in November 1989, SPRINGDALE MALL encompassed approximately 926,300 leasable square feet and housed eighty stores and services.

Between the mid-1990s and early-2000s, SPRINGDALE MALL would be reconfigured with various big box-type retailers. The first of these was created by merging four store spaces in the South Wing. A (23,600 square foot) Barnes & Noble opened in the spring of 1994. Next came a (16,000 square foot) Old Navy. It occupied two previous South Wing spaces and opened in the fall of 1996.

In September 1997, Chattanooga's CBL & Associates Properties acquired SPRINGDALE MALL and immediately announced a "redeveloping, remodeling and retenanting" of the complex. During this project, new flooring, mall entrances, skylights and landscaping were installed. Moreover, the official name of the shopping hub was shortened to simply SPRINGDALE.

A (26,000 square foot) Goody's Family Clothing was added during the remodeling. This store was dedicated in April 1998. At the same time, the six-plex theater was enlarged into the Carmike Springdale Cinemas 11. Six store spaces adjacent to Montgomery Ward were gutted, expanded and incorporated into a (24,100 square foot) Staples and (36,000 square foot) Linens 'n Things. 

Anchor rebrandings at SPRINGDALE began in October 1998, when the Gayfers store received a Dillard's nameplate. The Montgomery Ward Specialty Store shut down in early 1999, with its space leased by Burlington Coat Factory. Within a few years, Toys "R" Us would also close. Burlington Coat Factory then expanded into its space.

A new century brought more redevelopment. The western half of the West Wing was rebuilt into a (46,900 square foot) Best Buy. This store opened in the fall of 2001. Dillard's closed their SPRINGDALE store in early 2003. It was demolished in 2004, along with the remainder of the West Wing and portion of the East Wing. A 1-level (139,500 square foot) Sam's Club opened in 2005.

CBL & Associates Properties sold SPRINGDALE in April 2006. The mall was purchased by a joint venture of Australia's Centro Properties Group and an American affiliate known as Galileo America. The assets of Centro were sold to New York City-based Blackstone Realty Partners in June 2011. A managing entity, known as the Brixmor Property Group, was created in September 2012.

By this time, several stores had come and gone at SPRINGDALE. McRae's was "Belked" in March 2006. Goody's shut down in early 2009, with a new Marshalls opening in its space in the fall of 2010. Barnes & Noble went dark in the summer of 2010, with Michaels taking its place in the fall of the same year. 

A vacant Linens 'n Things spot was taken by Big Lots, with the store opening in the fall of 2010. Best Buy and Old Navy closed their SPRINGDALE stores in January 2016 and moved to the new McGOWIN PARK power center {1.6 miles southeast, in Mobile}. Belk shuttered their SPRINGDALE store in September 2016. It merged with the SHOPPES AT BEL AIR Belk. A vacant Sears was renovated, with a new Belk making its debut on October 12, 2016.

By 2019, several new -or relocated- SPRINGDALE stores were in business. Burlington (Coat Factory) moved into the vacant Best Buy in the West Wing; downsizing their operation by nearly 89,000 square feet. The ground floor of the abandoned Belk was divided into five store spaces. 

Three of these were tenanted by a (20,000 square foot) Shoe Station, (18,300 square foot) Cost Plus World Market and (25,600 square foot) Bed Bath & Beyond. A (46,400 square foot), Texas-based  Conn's Home Plus opened for business, in a portion of the old Wards-Burlington building, on January 8, 2021. Bed, Bath & Beyond shut down on July 30, 2023. With Conn's Home Plus going dark on October 31, 2024.
