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, 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 of existing space and the addition of another 100,000 square feet. 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.
