History

Park Meadows opened in 1996 with Dillard's, and the first Nordstrom in the state of Colorado.[2] Both Joslins and Foley's (now Macy's) opened at the mall in 1997, and JCPenney opened in 1999.[3] It was the largest mall in the Denver metropolitan area.[4]

When Dillard's bought the Joslins chain in 1998, the Park Meadows store was sold to Lord & Taylor, which opened in 1999.[5] The Hahn Company, who built the mall, sold it to The Rouse Company the same year.[6] A movie theater opened by United Artists closed in 2000 and became Galyan's, now Dick's Sporting Goods.[2]

Lord & Taylor closed its store at the mall in 2004.[7] Also that year, General Growth Properties acquired the mall when it bought Rouse's portfolio.[6] In 2006, the Lord & Taylor building was demolished for an outdoor promenade.[4][8]

Borders Books & Music, a tenant of the outdoor section, closed in 2011. A year later, it was replaced by Forever 21.[9]
