Christiana Mall is a super-regional mid-range/upscale shopping mall near Newark, Delaware, United States. The mall is near an exit off Interstate 95 close to the center of the BosWash megalopolis. The mall's anchor stores are Macy's, JCPenney, and Nordstrom (opening 2011)[2], as well as more than 130 other stores. The mall is managed by General Growth Properties and has 1,083,000 square feet of gross leasable area[1], making it the largest shopping mall in Delaware. Because Delaware does not have a sales tax, the mall is a popular destination for shoppers looking to save money. It has one level of shopping space containing many high-end stores.

[edit] Planned redevelopment
The former Lord & Taylor store will become a new concept store known as "The Epicenter Collection," an Internet catalog showroom. The former cinema and existing food court will be demolished and replaced with a more spacious dining court. The 214,000 square feet Strawbridge's store has been torn down and will be replaced with a new two level, 140,000 square feet Nordstrom store and additional mall space, restaurants and outdoor "avenue style" facing retail space. The new plans have been designed by architecture firm RTKL.
