Northlake Mall is a mall located eight miles north of uptown Charlotte, North Carolina. It is located off of Interstate 77 at exit 18, West W.T. Harris Blvd (formerly Reames Road/Vance Road). The mall opened on September 15, 2005, with anchor department stores Belk, Dillard's, and Macy's. AMC Theatres and Dick's Sporting Goods are other major attractions at the mall. It joins SouthPark Mall, Eastland Mall, and Carolina Place Mall as the fourth mall in Mecklenburg County. The mall development has been criticized by some proponents of "new urbanism" for contributing to urban sprawl near the controversial Interstate 485 outer beltway. Located adjacent to the mall is Northlake Commons, consisting of various restaurants and stores.

In early 2006, Borders Books and Music joined the mall, and the second Z Gallerie in North Carolina opened at the mall on June 1, 2006. LiveWell! Carolinas, run by Carolinas Medical Center-University opened in the Dillard's wing. There are also numerous restaurants around the perimeter of the mall.
