Overview
The Streets at SouthGlenn is a mixed-use retail, dining, entertainment, business, and residential development in Centennial, Colorado, near the southwest corner of South University Boulevard and Arapahoe Road. It replaced Southglenn Mall, a mid-sized regional shopping center that opened in 1974. The original mall was developed by Denver-based Jordan Perlmutter & Co. at a reported cost of $40 million and initially featured Sears, The Denver department store, and May D&F as its principal anchors. Southglenn Mall experienced several changes in its department-store lineup during the 1980s and 1990s. The Denver store was eventually replaced by JCPenney after May Department Stores acquired Associated Dry Goods, while May D&F later became Foley's. Joslins opened a 160,000-square-foot flagship store at the property in 1994, but the center faced increasing competition after Park Meadows opened in neighboring Douglas County in 1996. Joslins became Dillard's in 1998 following Dillard's acquisition of Mercantile Stores. JCPenney later converted its location into a JCPenney Home Store, which closed in 2002. Ownership changed in early 1999 when Chicago-based Walton Street Capital acquired the mall. A modest interior renovation followed in 2001, including redesigned corridor ceilings, new tiles, updated lighting, and replacement bannisters. These improvements did not reverse the broader pressure on the older property from newer regional shopping destinations. In 2005, Alberta Development Partners and the City of Centennial announced plans to replace the mall with a more contemporary mixed-use project called Streets at SouthGlenn. The redevelopment required the closure and demolition of most of the former mall. Southglenn Mall and Dillard's closed in February 2006, while Sears and Macy's remained open during portions of the construction process. Demolition began in June 2006, and redevelopment formally broke ground on June 15 of that year. The project reused some of the original site's concrete materials, including crushed material from the former mall building pad. Best Buy opened during construction in July 2008, and the completed Streets at SouthGlenn opened on August 28, 2009. The new development was designed around a broader mix of uses than the enclosed mall it replaced. Its retail and entertainment tenants have included Macy's, Macy's Home Store, Staples, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Whole Foods Market, Old Navy, and a 14-screen cinema that began as Hollywood Theaters and later operated under the Regal name. A Barnes & Noble store had originally been planned for one of the largest spaces, but Old Navy occupied that space in 2012. The center also incorporates restaurants, services, offices, and residential components, positioning it as a community-oriented mixed-use destination rather than a conventional enclosed mall. The property has continued to experience tenant turnover. Sears announced in October 2018 that its Southglenn store would close as part of a nationwide round of closures. Macy's announced in January 2022 that its location would also close, leaving it as the last store associated with the original Southglenn Mall. Reference material also records the opening of Lucky Charm Bridal in March 2026, a boutique offering bridal gowns, including designs under its Maison Bon Chance label. As of the supplied reference material, Macy's Home Store, Staples, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Best Buy had also closed. The center remains an active retail and mixed-use property, although its tenant composition has changed substantially since the redevelopment opened.
History
Southglenn Mall opened in 1974 at the southwest corner of Arapahoe Road and South University Boulevard in what is now Centennial, Colorado. Developed by Jordan Perlmutter & Co., the center was a mid-sized regional mall with Sears, The Denver, and May D&F as its original anchor stores. The development was part of the growth of suburban retail in the Denver metropolitan area and was built at a reported cost of $40 million. The anchor lineup changed over time. After May Department Stores acquired Associated Dry Goods in 1987, The Denver's space was eventually sold to JCPenney, while May D&F continued operating at the property. The mall underwent its first renovation in 1988, including asbestos abatement. May D&F was converted to Foley's in 1993. In 1994, Joslins opened a large flagship store on the east side of the mall. The store occupied approximately 160,000 square feet and represented a major investment in the center. Southglenn's competitive position weakened after Park Meadows opened in 1996 with a larger and newer collection of department-store anchors, including Dillard's, Foley's, Nordstrom, and Joslins. Southglenn sales declined, and its tenant mix continued to evolve. Joslins became Dillard's in 1998 after Dillard's acquired Joslins' parent company, Mercantile Stores. In early 1999, Walton Street Capital acquired the mall. JCPenney changed its format to a JCPenney Home Store after a new JCPenney opened at Park Meadows, but the home-store operation closed in 2002. A limited interior renovation took place in 2001. The work included redesigned corridor ceilings, new floor tiles, lighting, and bannisters, with the objective of improving the appearance of the aging enclosed mall and retaining smaller and mid-sized tenants. These updates were insufficient to overcome the structural disadvantages of the older property, and in 2005 Alberta Development Partners and the City of Centennial announced a comprehensive redevelopment plan. The redevelopment transformed the property from an enclosed shopping mall into a mixed-use district. Southglenn Mall and Dillard's closed in February 2006, although Sears and Macy's remained open during parts of the transition. Demolition of the former mall structure began in mid-June, and formal groundbreaking occurred on June 15, 2006. Much of the old structure between Macy's and Sears was removed. Concrete from the former building pad was crushed and accumulated for reuse in the new project. Walgreens, which had operated in an exterior location, temporarily continued pharmaceutical operations from a building on the east side of the site while a permanent facility was planned. Best Buy opened on July 17, 2008, before the full project was completed. Streets at SouthGlenn officially opened on August 28, 2009, with a combination of retail, restaurants, entertainment, office space, and residential uses. The post-redevelopment tenant lineup included Macy's, Macy's Home Store, Staples, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Whole Foods Market, and a 14-screen cinema. The cinema initially operated as Hollywood Theaters and later under the Regal brand. Old Navy ultimately occupied a space that had been planned for Barnes & Noble and opened there in 2012. The redevelopment gave the property a broader and more flexible operating model, but the center continued to face normal retail-market turnover. Sears announced in 2018 that its location would close, and Macy's announced a closure in 2022. Macy's was identified in the supplied reference material as the last store remaining from the original Southglenn Mall. The reference material further reports that Macy's Home Store, Staples, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Best Buy had closed by 2026, while Lucky Charm Bridal opened in March 2026. The property remains an active mixed-use destination, but its current tenant roster and ownership structure are not fully documented in the supplied sources.
