The Centre Mall, is an indoor shopping mall in the Lower City of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on Barton Street East bounded by Ottawa Street North in the western-end and Kenilworth Avenue North on the eastern-end.

History

The Centre Mall was built in 1955 and one of the first shopping malls in all of North America.

Present-day "Centre Mall" use to be the site of "the Jockey Club" racetrack but in the years after the Second World War the push for Hamilton's eastward expansion had completely engulfed the Jockey Club property. On 26 September, 1952 the racetrack was sold. The site would then become the site of the "Greater Hamilton Shopping Centre". cite book|title=Hamilton our Lives and Times|first=Brian |last=Henley |publisher=The Hamilton Spectator|year=1993|id= ISBN 0-9697255-0-7]

Centre Mall reconstruction project

Centre Mall owners announce plans for a 23-building super centre on the property on "Barton Street East". Cost is estimated to be around $100-million and will take up convert|700000|sqft|m2 of retail space. This will end up being the largest redevelopment project in the history of Hamilton's east-end. The buildings on the property will be grouped around the edge of the property and create a friendly, pedestrian-oriented design rather than a commercial island in a sea of parking. cite press release| title = "Centre Mall owners plan 23-building super centre."| publisher =The Hamilton Spectator| date =2007-09-27| accessdate = 2007-12-04] The overhaul will take about two-and-a-half years to complete but the bulk of the work is expected to be done by the end of the summer of 2008. Some new buildings will go up before the enclosed mall is torn down. cite press release| title = "New lease on life for Ottawa St."| publisher =The Hamilton Spectator, Lisa Grace Marr| date =2007-11-24| accessdate = 2007-12-04] The redevelopment of Centre Mall is transforming the entire neighbourhood from Ottawa Street to Kenilworth Avenue. The $100-million investment in the mall has boosted Ottawa Street North - already the city's No.1 tourist destination. The garment district has also morphed into a holistic home decor destination area, complete with lighting, antique, design & glass stores. The Ottawa Street B.I.A. had the most application and grants under the commercial property improvement program in 2007 with thirty three and it had an effect on the property values and real estate activity in the district.cite press release| title = "New lease on life for Ottawa St."| publisher =The Hamilton Spectator, Lisa Grace Marr| date =2007-11-24| accessdate = 2007-12-04]
