Angelópolis Centro Comercial (Angelópolis Mall in English), is a shopping mall that covers more than 78,000 square meters. It is located in the Puebla, Mexico. The mall was designed by the Sordo Madaleno group and developed using a public-private partnership.

History

In the early 1980s, the city of Puebla was mainly residential. Throughout the decade, the population increased rapidly.[1]

Javier Sordo Madaleno initiated the project and invited Liverpool and Palacio de Hierro groups as investors. Madaleno negotiated with the government of the State of Puebla for the acquisition of land in the area known as Land Reserve Atlixcáyotl. Angelópolis opened for public in 1998, with Liverpool and other stores. Later stores such as C&A and Sears, Sanborns, boutiques and fast food joints opened. In 2002, the upstairs section of the mall was finished and El Palacio de Hierro was opened.

Angelópolis was planned by the state government to trigger the development of a new urban area. Since the opening of the Angelópolis Mall, the area is popularly known as Angelópolis, or Zone of Angelópolis.[2]


Design

Angelópolis is the biggest mall in the city. Shops occupy 156 commercial spaces that include sub-stores, recreation areas, fast food areas, restaurants, banks, service areas and two levels of parking. A fountain and food court is on the ground floor.
