[edit] Expansion
The mall opened in 1960[2] and underwent a renovation in the late 1980s, adding the Skyview Cafe food court, and losing an anchor store, Alexander's.
The Mall strongly opposed the proposed rival New Haven Galleria mall at Long Wharf, filing over 15 lawsuits.[3][4]
A $118 million[5] 480,000-square-foot[6] expansion project took place in 2005-2006, adding:
- an additional level of parking
- a 75,000-square-foot[6] third floor to Macy's
- a large extension to the building with a 55,000-square-foot[6] movie theater (Showcase Cinema De Lux 14, replacing the previously adjacent building Milford 4-Plex), a new food court, and two more anchors, Dick's Sporting Goods and Target.
