History

Assembly Square Mall opened in 1980. [http://www.secinfo.com/dsbzp.81q.htm SEC Info - Shopco Regional Malls LP - 10-K - For 12/31/96 ] ] The mall building was previously occupied by a Ford Motors factory, and was later used as a supermarket distribution center before its conversion to a mall.

The convert|322000|sqft|m2|sing=on mall was originally anchored by a convert|79000|sqft|m2|abbr=on. Jordan Marsh and a convert|95637|sqft|m2|abbr=on. Kmart; these anchor stores remained the same until 1996, when Macy's acquired the chain. Macy's closed the store in 1997, and by 1999, it was replaced with Building #19.

Shortly after Building 19 opened, the mall was closed off except for Building 19 and Kmart, the former of which closed soon afterward. The vacant mall was demolished in 2005, with the exception of the Kmart and former Building 19.

The new Assembly Square Marketplace was completed in early 2006 and contains stores including Staples (in the former Building 19), AC Moore, Bed Bath & Beyond, TJ Maxx & More, HomeGoods, Sports Authority, Home Depot and Christmas Tree Shops. The area around the mall will be redeveloped as an urban village. [ [http://www.assemblysquare.com/redevelopment.html :::Assembly Square::: ] ]
