Washington Square is a shopping mall in the Portland, Oregon suburb of Tigard. The mall is owned and operated by The Macerich Company, a real estate investment trust. The mall was opened in 1974, then remodeled with a more upscale decor and a new food court in 1994. A 100,000 square foot addition was completed in late 2005, housing approximately 30 more stores and "anchored" by The Cheesecake Factory. At the same time, other improvements were made throughout the mall and two new parking structures were added. The current configuration has five department store anchors, 170 specialty shops & restaurants, and a food court. Some of the stores are in a separate, smaller mall known as "Washington Square Too". Most of the mall is on a single level; however, the anchor stores have multiple levels, the food court is on a second level, and the new expansion was built so that it could accommodate a second level addition at a later date. TriMet maintains the Washington Square Transit Center on the mall's premises. Washington Square is one of the top grossing malls per square foot in the United States.
Anchors History Phase One Stores (1974) Phase Two Stores (1980) Former Stores Frederick & Nelson was an anchor in the former Lipmans location. Upon the chain's bankruptcy in 1990, Nordstrom remodeled the space and moved in 1995, allowing the mall to renovate the original Nordstrom store into a food court. Current Anchors & Majors | ||||||||
