History
Broadway Plaza opened on October 18, 1951 with 38 stores.[4] JCPenney, Sears, Woolworths, Joseph Magnin (later I. Magnin), and a Lucky Supermarket were the mall's original anchors.[5] In 1954, Oakland-based department store Capwell's opened as the center's fifth anchor.[6]
Lucky was replaced by Northern California's second Bullock's department store in 1973,[7] which was in turn converted to Nordstrom in 1984.[8]
Capwell's became Emporium-Capwell in 1979,[9] and was converted to Macy's in 1995;[10] while I.Magnin was converted to a separate Macy's Men's store that same year.[11]
Neiman Marcus joined Broadway Plaza in March 2012,[12] as the beginning of several major changes to the shopping center. Plans for an extensive renovation of the mall, including the addition of 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2) of new retail space, were approved in December 2013.[13] The expansion will consolidate the two Macy's stores into a single building, replace existing parking garages with modern structures, and add a new two-level retail building between the existing Macy's and Nordstrom stores. They will also remodel the outside of the Macy's Building & the Nordstrom building. This project is set to be completed by Winter 2015 or Spring 2016.[14]
