List of largest shopping malls in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the largest shopping malls in the United States of America. The information is compiled from several sources. The original edition of this list comes from the June 27, 2004 edition of The Dallas Morning News. The list is based in part on information gathered by the Department of American Studies at Eastern Connecticut State University in 2004 as part of its Shopping Mall Studies[1].
Size data is taken from the 'Major Malls Directory' section of the International Council of Shopping Centers Directories webpage[2]. Malls are ranked by square feet of retail space (gross leasable area).
In the case of the King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, the mall consists of three connected sections on one contiguous piece of property: The Plaza, The Court, and The Pavilion. The Court and Pavilion are simply unique names for two sections of the same building. The Plaza building is connected to the Court/Pavilion building by a covered walkway across the parking lot. The entire complex is managed by a single company; however, the Plaza and Court are owned by one company, and the Pavilion is owned by another company.
In the case of South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, the mall consists of two connected sections on two adjacent pieces of property, divided by Bear St., a public thoroughfare in Costa Mesa. The two buildings are connected by a pedestrian bridge over Bear St.
In the case of the Tysons Corner, Virginia, there are two malls (Tysons Corner Center and Tysons Galleria) separated by a major thoroughfare (State Route 123). The two properties are not contiguous, nor even adjacent (they are about one-quarter mile apart), so they cannot be construed as part of the same mall.
