Del Amo Fashion Center

Del Amo Fashion Center is a 5 level enclosed mall in the Los Angeles suburb Torrance. The mall was built in 1975. Del Amo Fashion Center is approximately 2,500,000 square feet (230,000 m²), and has over 300 stores. The mall features three food courts, and a newly added fitness center.

Del Amo Fashion Center has 9 major anchors: Macy's, Macys Home and Furniture gallery, Sears, Robinsons-May, JC Penney, Marshalls, T.J Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, and Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts.

The mall has deteriorated badly since the mid-1990s — for example, the style of both interior and exterior signage looks rather dated by 21st century standards. However, it was acquired in 2003 by the powerful Mills Corporation for $420 million (USD) [1]. Plans are underway for a $160 million redevelopment involving the renovation of 670,000 square feet (62,000 m²) of existing space and the addition of another 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²). The new open-air lifestyle district, scheduled to open in early summer 2006, will bring new specialty stores, dining, entertainment, and an AMC Theatres complex.
