Lime Ridge is a two-level indoor shopping mall in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on Upper Wentworth Street. It is the largest mall complex in the city, an 815,000-square-foot (75,700 m2) super regional shopping centre with over 213 stores including department store anchors Hudson's Bay and Sears, and five large non-majors: Home Outfitters, The Bay Home Store, Old Navy, H&M, and SportChek.
The mall, which also includes an office building, is managed by the Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited and features four floors of office space. [1] Three of city's radio stations are tenants there and they include; 102.9 K-Lite FM (Adult contemporary), 820 CHAM (Country) and 1150 CKOC (Oldies).
In 1981 the Provincial Government offered to build an elevated rapid transit line from Jackson Square in downtown Hamilton, to the mall.[2] Hamilton-Wentworth Council turned the proposal down.

On the night of Dec. 15, 1981, Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Council rejected a proposal to build a $111-million elevated train line from Jackson Square in the city’s core to Lime Ridge Mall, the hub for what was then the southern fringe of the Mountain’s blooming suburbs.
