History
Metrocentre Mall now known as Metro Centre Place was a joint venture of Cadillac Fairview of Canada, a regional shopping center development firm headed by a group of real estate investors and developers. The project was announced in November 1967, the first site plans and artist renderings announced in the spring of 1968, and construction beginning in June 1968. The mall was opened for business in October 1969, as a two level, five anchor mall. Metrocenter was the largest shopping center in California to date (housing more shopping space than the entire San Bernardino metropolitan area had in 1957) and was considered one of the largest shopping centers in the United States. The mall opened with 6 anchors and over 150 specialty retailers and shops on 2 levels.
