Park Place is a large indoor shopping mall located on the East Side of Tucson, Arizona, United States.
History
Park Place was originally dedicated as Park Mall in May 1975,[2] but was renovated beginning in 1998 and renamed Park Place the following year.[3] The mall is named after Sears Park, which was previously located at the same site and included what was originally a standalone Sears store (which first opened in the fall of 1965), the current mall’s major anchor (the park’s presently limited to its extreme southern part).[4] The electric substation on the premises is named Sears Substation because it was there a decade before the mall was built. From 1970 to 1996 the owner was the mall’s original developer, Joseph Kivel.
Renovation
The 1,100,000-square-foot (100,000 m2),[5] $100 million renovation, completed in 2001, was recognized that year as a Reader's Pick for Best Contemporary Architecture in Tucson Weekly's Best of Tucson awards.[6]
The mall features three anchor stores, a food court, a Southwest-themed children's play area, and a cineplex with 20 screens. A number of full-service restaurants are also located on site.
