La Cumbre Plaza is an upscale, outdoor shopping center located in Santa Barbara, California. The first property built by The Hahn Company, La Cumbre Plaza opened in 1967[1] and was purchased by Macerich in 2004.[2] The shopping center spans 491,000 square feet and is anchored by a Vons grocery store and department stores Sears and Macy's.
History
La Cumbre Plaza opened in 1967 with anchors Sears and J.W. Robinson's. Robinson's changed nameplates several times in its history, settling on Macy's in 2005 due to the merger of Federated and May Department Stores[3]
The mall was a solidly middle-class shopping center until the mid-2000s when new owner Macerich embarked on a remodel that added upscale retailers including Williams-Sonoma, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, and Ruth's Chris Steak House. The luxury-oriented remodel was at the height of the Great Recession, causing several of these new tenants to close only a few years later. Others have thrived since the remodel, with Michael Kors, Pottery Barn, and other upscale brands still operating.
