City Place Mall Location Silver Spring, Maryland Opening date 1992 Owner Petrie Ross Ventures No. of anchor tenants 2 No. of floors 5 Website City Place Mall City Place Mall, at the intersection of Fenton Street and Colesville Road (U.S. Route 29) in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, is a 400,000-square-foot (37,000 m2), five-story shopping mall that opened on April 2, 1992.[1][2] It was formerly a Hecht Company department store, the first suburban Washington, D.C., branch of that company, which opened in 1947; the downtown Silver Spring Hecht's closed when the Hecht's at Wheaton Plaza opened in 1987. From its start, the mall included "upscale" discount stores including original tenants Nordstrom Rack and Ross Dress for Less.[3] The mall also included an AMC movie theater on its fifth floor, but it closed shortly after a 20-screen Consolidated Theatres (now Regal Theaters) opened directly across Ellsworth Drive from City Place.
The mall is at the center of a revitalizing downtown Silver Spring.[4] Current City Place anchors include Marshalls and Burlington Coat Factory, plus a food court on the lower level and a row of street-level shops, including PNC Bank, Noodles & Company, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Ben & Jerry's. The new slogan for City Place is "Life. Style. In the City." There is a proposal to build an office tower on top of the mall.[5]
