During the 1968-'69 expansion, some of the mall's inline stores relocated into the South Wing. This left empty space in the original structure; some of which was filled by an expansion of Zinik's Sporting Goods. The grand opening of their newly-enlarged (20,000 square foot) store was commemorated in this advertisement from September 1969.

COTTONWOOD MALL
South Highland Drive and Murray-Holladay Road
Salt Lake County (Holladay), Utah
The Beehive State's first shopping mall was located 10 miles southeast of Temple Square, in Salt Lake County's unincorporated Cottonwood community. COTTONWOOD MALL occupied a 52.4-acre tract and originally encompassed around 543,000 leasable square feet. The fully-enclosed complex consisted of a Main Floor, small Downstairs Mall and Mezzanine of leased offices spaces.
Salt Lake City-based Horman Construction Company developed the facility, which was designed by John Graham & Company, of Seattle. The mall was anchored by a 2-level (127,900 square foot) Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, or ZCMI (a department store owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints). ZCMI, which was the chain's first branch, was dedicated on March 26, 1962. It joined two mall tenants who had already opened for business; an Albertsons Food Center and the freestanding Cottonwood Bowling Lanes.
The mall held its official grand opening on August 16, 1962, when eighteen stores made their debut. By December of the year, the shopping hub housed thirty-eight stores and fifteen offices. Charter tenants included Josco Drug, La Rie's ladies' wear, Hot Shoppes Cafeteria, Anita Shops ladies' wear, Arthur Frank men's wear and an F.W. Woolworth 5 & 10.
A 2-level (40,000 square foot) The Paris department store began business July 27, 1964. A Makoff's ladies' wear store had also been built on the south end of the mall. The retail roster now listed fifty-six stores and services, including a ZCMI Car Care Center, which had opened in March 1964.
On July 10, 1968, the National General Corporation Fox Cottonwood Mall Theatre showed its first feature. The venue had 914 seats in a single auditorium. It was reconfigured as a twin-screen operation in December 1976 and expanded -into a four-plex- in early 1977. By the 21st century, the theater was a Carmike venue. It was shuttered in February 2002.
Meanwhile, ground had been broken in March 1968 for a 2-level (161,200 square foot) J.C. Penney. The store, added to the south end of the complex, opened on April 16, 1969. In 1970, COTTONWOOD MALL encountered its first competitor, VALLEY FAIR MALL {7.9 miles northwest, in Salt Lake County}. FASHION PLACE MALL {3 miles southwest, in Murray} was completed in 1972.
ZCMI at COTTONWOOD MALL was expanded with a third level and adjacent parking garage. The store now encompassed 237,000 square feet. A renovation of the mall proper was announced in June 1981. This project was to include modernization of interior spaces with new skylights and flooring. The Courtyard Food Court was built in a vacant supermarket.
Moreover, a shuttered The Paris store was divided into inline retail spaces. The store's second floor, and an adjacent office mezzanine, were refitted as part of a new Upper Level of retail. This connected with an Upper Level that had been added to the mall's South Wing. The facade of the shopping hub was also remodeled.
When the renovation was officially dedicated, on November 10, 1983, COTTONWOOD MALL encompassed approximately 743,600 leasable square feet and housed 150 stores and services. The Horman Construction Company sold the shopping hub in 1985, with Salt Lake City's Price Development Company becoming its new proprietor.
The property became part of the newly-formed city of Cottonwood-Holladay in November 1999. The name of the municipality was shortened to Holladay in December of the same year. Also in 1999, the ZCMI chain was sold to Saint-Louis-based May Department Stores. They retained the ZCMI nameplate until the chain was rebranded -under May's Meier & Frank division- on April 18, 2001. The store received a Macy's nameplate on September 9, 2006.
COTTONWOOD MALL had been acquired by General Growth Properties in 2002. By this time, the complex was in a downward spiral. In late 2007, a Site Development Master Plan was finalized. By November of the year, demolition was underway. The existing ZCMI-Macy's was left standing, along with an freestanding TGI Friday restaurant. The remainder of COTTONWOOD MALL was reduced to rubble.
The plan was to replace the mall with a mixed-use community known as COTTONWOOD. Based on an Old World-European Street motif, the open-air complex was to include 617,000 square feet of retail, 226 office suites and 614 residential units. Unfortunately, the Great Recession, and GGP's 2009-2010 bout with bankruptcy, halted any redevelopment. In the interim, site preparation, including a rerouting of Cottonwood Creek and the elevation of the site above the flood plain, were completed.
As a part of the settlement of the GGP bankruptcy, all potential redevelopment was placed under the supervision of the Howard Hughes Corporation. In mid-2014, it was announced that Smith's Food & Drug was going to build a (78,000 square foot) COTTONWOOD store. This would be accompanied by a 10-screen Larry H. Miller Megaplex theater.
However, by early 2017, plans for the Smith's store and theater had been abandoned. The shuttering of Macy's, which was to anchor the new COTTONWOOD development, may have caused the Howard Hughes Corporation to give up on the project entirely.
A joint venture was formed by Ivory Homes and the Woodbury Corporation, both based in Salt Lake City. These companies took charge of the COTTONWOOD redevelopment, under the proviso that they would purchase the land if government approval for some type of repurpose could be secured.
A plan was drawn up. The new COTTONWOOD HOLLADAY facility would incorporate 1,086 residential units, forty retail and restaurant spaces and several leased office suites. The prospectus was presented to the Holladay City Council in January 2017. They rejected the plan.
The plan was amended, with the name of the prospective complex changed to HOLLADAY HILLS. The number of housing units was reduced to 775, maximum building heights shortened to 7 floors and green space increased from 14 to 19 acres. The new plan was approved in May 2018. Construction was soon underway on a Block D Phase 1 structure. Its first residential units were available for leasing in October 2023. A Phase 2 segment was completed in December of the same year.

VALLEY FAIR MALL
South 2700 West / Constitution Boulevard and West 3500 South
Salt Lake County (West Valley City), Utah
Greater Salt Lake City's second shopping mall was built on a 71-acre site, located 7 miles southwest of Temple Square. The plot was in an unincorporated section of Salt Lake County known as Granger. Valley Center, Incorporated (of Phoenix) was the project's original developer. They broke ground in July 1965.

Valley Center, Incorporated (of Phoenix) was the project's original developer. They broke ground in July 1965.
During the next 3 years, the VALLEY FAIR MALL project was plagued by funding difficulties, court injunctions and zoning problems. Construction finally commenced in October 1968. The fully-enclosed, single-level facility was designed by New York City's Copeland, Novak & Isreal firm, Salt Lake City's Arthur K. Olsen and Frank L. Hope & Associates, of San Diego.
Valley Center, Incorporated sold all interest in the partially-finished complex in March 1970. Development was assumed by a joint venture of Dallas' BUR, Incorporated, San Francisco's Reininga & Holmes, Incorporated and Honolulu's Hawaii Shopping Center Corporation.
When completed, the 20 million dollar "dumbell plan" mall encompassed approximately 590,000 leasable square feet, with a total of seventy-five tenant spaces. Along its shopping concourse were sequencing fountains, reflective pools, cross-over bridges, tropical plantings, sculptures and a bird aviary. Floors were covered in brick and indoor-outdoor carpeting.
Anchoring the north end of VALLEY FAIR MALL was a 2-level (150,000 square foot) J.C. Penney. It opened for business on July 15, 1970. A 1-level (105,600 square foot), Salt Lake City-based Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, or ZCMI, presided over the mall's south end. This store debuted on July 27, 1970. A mall-wide dedication was held on the same day, with sixty-one stores and services in operation. A ceremonial ribbon was cut by Clyde L. Miller (Utah Secretary of State) and Debbie Dunn "Miss Utah 1970."
Charter tenants included Walgreen Drug, Zinik's Sporting Goods, Karmelkorn, Docktor Pet Center, Baker's Shoes, Anita Shops, Pehrson's Hardware & Appliance, a (36,300 square foot) S.H. Kress 5 & 10 and (20,000 square foot), Salt Lake City-based Castletons. The Lippert Theatres Valley Fair 4 Cinemas showed first features on August 14, 1970. This venue was accessed via an exterior entrance and did not connect with the shopping concourse.
The original rival of VALLEY FAIR was COTTONWOOD MALL (1962) {7.9 miles southeast, in Salt Lake County-Holladay}. The second commercial competitor, FASHION PLACE MALL (1972) {5 miles southeast, in Murray}, was dedicated in 1972.
VALLEY FAIR MALL became "freeway friendly" with the completion of the western segment of the Interstate 215 Belt Route. This thoroughfare opened to traffic in November 1976. 4 years later, the Salt Lake County communities of Granger, Hunter, Redwood and Chesterfield were incorporated as West Valley City. The municipality, which came into being on July 1, 1980, was the Beehive State's third-largest city.

The municipality, which came into being on July 1, 1980, was the Beehive State's third-largest city.
A mall expansion had been undertaken in 1979. A 2-level (90,000 square foot), Hayward, California-based Mervyn's was built on the east side of the complex. The store opened, in unison with three other Utah Mervyn's locations, on July 26, 1980.
A subsequent renovation of VALLEY FAIR MALL began in March 1986 and was completed in the following November. Center Court was remodeled and new landscaping, flooring and skylights were installed. In the South Wing, existing space was gutted and rebuilt into the 14-bay Cafe Fair Food Court. The 4-plex cinema was also expanded into the Cinemark Valley Fair Movies 9, which had a direct connection with the shopping concourse.
The only rebranded anchor at VALLEY FAIR is its ZCMI. The store was converted to a Portland-based Meier & Frank on April 18, 2001 and morphed into a Macy's on September 9, 2006. By the early 2000s, the Granger Elementary School, at the southeast corner of the mall site, had been demolished. It was replaced by a 1-level (152,000 square foot) Costco, which opened on August 3, 2007.

This store's dedication may now be seen as the beginning of a major renovation and expansion of the shopping complex. A joint venture of Sandy, Utah's Satterfield Helm Management and New York City-based Coventry Real Estate Investors had acquired VALLEY FAIR MALL in 2005. In April 2008, ground was broken for the first phase of its reinvention as a hybrid enclosed and open-air retail venue.
During this construction phase, the old Penney's Auto Center was razed. Six freestanding structures were built along the north and west boundaries of the parking lot. These housed restaurants such as Smashburger, Olive Garden, TGI Friday, and Winger's Diner. Grand openings were held in late 2009.
Phase two of the reinvention consisted of renovation and expansion of the mall proper. The west facade was rebuilt with a south Streetscape. A (30,000 square foot) Ross Dress for Less and (7,900 square foot) Famous Footwear opened in October 2010 and March 2011, respectively. The new mall facade was joined by a five-building Village Shops section, which surrounded an outdoor plaza. One of eight Village Shops stores was a (13,500 square foot) Petco. This stage of construction was completed in October 2010.
A third redevelopment phase replaced a vacant Mervyn's, which had closed in early 2009. The store was bulldozed, with adjacent mall space also gutted. The Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatres Valley Fair, West Valley City was built. It showed first features on November 30, 2012.

VALLEY FAIR MALL became rail-transit-accessible with an extension of the Utah Transit Authority's TRAX system. Revenue service began on the 5.1 route mile Central Pointe-to-West Valley Central extension on August 1, 2011.
A fourth stage of the mall's reconstruction completed the north end of the west side Streetscape. A (23,000 square foot) Bed, Bath & Beyond and (10,400 square foot) Ulta Beauty made their debut in the fall of 2014. A fifth redevelopment stage kicked into gear after Macy's went dark, in mid-2016.

This vacant store was divided into two sections, with the largest leased as a (74,100 square foot) Hobby Lobby. The store welcomed first shoppers on September 21, 2019. The old 9-screen multiplex, and part of the Food Court, were reconfigured as a (70,000 square foot) All Star Bowling & Entertainment. This facility held its grand opening on November 9, 2019.
With these modifications, the mall proper of VALLEY FAIR encompassed approximately 831,600 leasable square feet and housed seventy stores. Outparcel structures housed twenty-six stores; this figure not including the 133-room Spring Hill Suites Hotel. It opened, on the southeastern periphery of the mall, in November 2020.
