Market Place Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Champaign, Illinois. Due to its location in the college town of Champaign, many of the shopping centers retailers aim towards the college demographic. The mall experiences a high occupancy rate, and annually has a large amount of shopper traffic. In May 2004, the management, General Growth Properties, was successful in signing JC Penney back into the mall. JC Penney had left the property (and indeed the region) 5 years previously.[2]
The shopping center acquired a Tuscany-themed Italian villa setting as part of a renovation and expansion project, completed in August 1999.[3] This same renovation and expansion project brought the mall up to 1,000,000 sq ft (92,900 m2) of Gross leasable area.[4]
