Circle Centre Mall
This is the mall that caused the big revitalization of downtown Indy. Shopping and restaurants fill up this mall. The mall has had no department stores since the last anchor, Carson's, went under in 2018. It had lost Nordstrom in 2011; some of the space vacated by that retailer used to house the offices of the city's main newspaper, The Indianapolis Star. Other stores included Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic, Hot Topic, Forever 21, Abercrombie & Fitch, Go! Retail Group, H&M and more. The fourth floor had a movie theater and video game arcade. Unfortunately, the mall closed its doors on December 31, 2025 when the Circle Centre Development Company announced that it had sold the mall to Hendricks Commercial Properties. It is targeted to open in 2029, will include retail, dining, and entertainment; office space, and more than 300 apartments, along with public plazas and green spaces.
