Cherry Creek Center was originally completed in 1953,[1] and was renovated in 1990, currently anchored by three department stores; Neiman Marcus, Macy's, and Nordstrom. Lord & Taylor opened a location at the mall in 1990, a newer expanded store closed in 2004 after the chain repositioned. Other than the shops in Aspen, Cherry Creek Center is the exclusive location of several luxury retailers in Colorado, such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Brooks Brothers. Saks Fifth Avenue closed in March 2011 and became Restoration Hardware in 2015.
It is also home to an eight screen movie theater operated by AMC. The mall is operated by the Taubman Centers company.
The shopping center is a triumph of mined land reclamation. In the 1920's Temple Buell bought a large parcel of land at First Avenue and University Boulevard. It was nothing but a weed-filled area. [2] Before the shopping center, sand was mined from a large pit. After it was mined out, the city used the pit as a sanitary landfill in the 1940s. After the pit was filled with trash, the first Cherry Creek shopping center was built over the dump.[3] It was designed in 1949 by Temple Hoyne Buell and is still in use, located immediately west of the larger mall facility extension renovated in 1990.[4][5] The former location of Bed Bath & Beyond was originally the Cherry Creek location of The Denver Dry Goods Company/May-Daniels & Fisher until 1990.[6]
