Mayfair Mall is a shopping mall located on Mayfair Road (Highway 100) between North Avenue and Center Street in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA. Mayfair Shopping Center was constructed in 1958 by the Hunzinger Construction Company. Managed by General Growth Properties, it serves the Greater Milwaukee area.

Mayfair contains over 180 stores on two levels anchored by the area's only Macy's (formerly Marshall Field's) and a Boston Store (formerly Gimbel's). Mayfair also has an AMC movie theatre.[1]

History

Mayfair Mall opened in January 1958, featuring more than 70 stores.[2] The mall's original design was a 960-foot (290 m) open-air concourse, with Marshall Field's as the northern anchor and Gimbels as the southern anchor. Three east-west corridors ran the width of the mall, with each corridor decorated in a different color. The mall's central court also featured a park, which included trees, flowers, benches and picnic tables.[3] The concourses were enclosed in 1973.[4]

An office tower was built on the southwest side of the mall in 1975, and construction began on a second in November 1977.[4] The upper level was expanded in 1986, adding 78,000 square feet (7,200 m2) of retail space.[5]

General Growth Properties bought the mall in 1998 and began a series of expansions and renovations over the next two years. This renovation project added a movie theater and a Barnes & Noble bookstore in 1999, and more than 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of retail space to the upper level in 2000.[5][6] In 2000, it was ranked as the most profitable mall in the Milwaukee area, keeping a 91% occupancy rate while Northridge Mall and The Shops of Grand Avenue lost tenants.[5]
