The Mall at Tuttle Crossing is an enclosed shopping mall located in northwest
Columbus, Ohio. It has a
Dublin, Ohio mailing address,[2] but it is in the Columbus city limits.[3] It was developed by a joint venture of
Taubman Centers and the Georgetown Company and opened on July 24, 1997. In 2021, the mall was reported to be heading towards foreclosure.[4][5] The anchor stores are
Macy's, Scene75 Entertainment Center, and
JCPenney. There is one vacant store that was once
Sears.
History
The mall would originally have been built at Sawmill Road and 161, but it did not happen and the site ultimately became Sun Center in 1994.
The mall opened on July 11, 1997 with Sears,
Lazarus,
Marshall Field's, and JCPenney as anchor stores.
In 2003, Lazarus was turned into Lazarus-Macy's, and the original Marshall Field's became
Kaufmann's in February 2003. Lazarus-Macy’s became Macy’s in March 2005. In 2006, due to the Federated-May merger, the Kaufmann's store was renamed Macy's at Hayden Run.
As of October 2006 there are two Macy's located at the mall, Macy's at Tuttle Crossing (the original Lazarus store) and Macy's at Hayden Run (the former Marshall Field's/Kaufmann's) until March 2017.
On January 4, 2017, Macy's announced it would be closing the Macy's at Hayden Run sometime during the same year.[6]
In early summer 2018, Scene75 Entertainment purchased the former Marshall Field's/Kaufmann's/Macy's building and tract. Soon after Scene75 on October 11, 2019 they were open to the public.[7]
On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would also be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2019.[8]
The Mall portion has had three owners during its history (both prior owners were purchased by Simon):
Simon Property Group, which owned 50%, and managed by Simon from April 2007 to until 2020
after 2020 the mall was placed into Receivership by the courts.
The Woodmont Company, was the management company for the mall from 2020 to 2023.
Namdar Realty Group is the current management company for the mall from 2023 to present.
Description and location
The mall itself anchors an economically strong and growing area of office complexes, restaurants, apartments and condominiums surrounding the interchange of
I-270 and Tuttle Crossing Boulevard. The area is a good example of the
suburban phenomenon known as an
edge city.
