exterior of Circle Centre, Nordstrom entrance, in downtown.

Circle Centre is a large indoor shopping mall located in downtown Indianapolis (just around the corner from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument). Plans for a downtown Indianapolis mall had been in development by the Simon Property Group since 1979. Circle Centre was opened to the public on September 8, 1995, adjoining Simon corporate headquarters, and incorporating existing downtown structures such as the former L. S. Ayres flagship store, which was used to house a Parisian location.

The mall consists of over 100 stores on four levels with a gross leasable area of 786,000 square feet, and is anchored by three-level Nordstrom and Carson Pirie Scott stores. A Carson's home store of 15,000 square feet was added in 2007. The third level features a food court. The fourth level was formerly devoted to entertainment such as a brewery and other over-21 attractions. It currently contains a GameWorks arcade and a nine-screen United Artists movie theater.
