Castleton Square
Castleton Square Mall is the largest and one of the busiest malls in the state of Indiana. Built by Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. in 1972, it is located in northeastern Indianapolis and owned by Simon Property Group. The largest stores are Dick's Sporting Goods, JCPenney, Macy's, Von Maur and Sears. A large area in front of Dick's contains a large children's play area and a food court which are popular meeting places within the mall.
History
Riding off of the success of Lafayette Square Mall on the city's westside, DeBartolo planned two additional yet similar malls in Indianapolis, one of which being Castleton Square. Ground was broken for the mall in 1970 and it opened in 1972 with four anchors. A fifth anchor was added south of the mall in 1992, and a sixth anchor and food court was added in 1999.
Present
Castleton Square is currently both the largest and busiest mall in Indiana. A new wing is currently under construction on the site of an L.S. Ayres department store and will be more similar in nature to a lifestyle center.
