Northlake Mall (Charlotte, North Carolina)


Northlake Mall is a two-story modern shopping mall located eight miles north of center city Charlotte, North Carolina off Interstate 77 at exit 18, Harris Blvd, and off Interstate 485 at exit 21, also at Harris Blvd. The mall is owned by Starwood Capitol Group and managed by upscale mall company Taubman Centers.

History

In 2005, when Northlake Mall opened, it filled a void for the lack of retail in the northern portion of Mecklenburg County. A mall had been planned for this region for years, but plans never materialized until a few years prior to the mall's opening. It has become the dominant retail destination for the thriving communities in North Charlotte and the Lake Norman region, from where it gets its name.
It was announced in 2013 that Northlake Mall would receive Charlotte's second H&M store, after the recently announced store at Carolina Place Mall. These two stores, along with the planned store at the SouthPark Mall, would be the only H&M stores in the Charlotte area, and one of seven H&M stores in the state of North Carolina.
In June 2014, it was announced that Taubman Centers would sell Northlake Mall to Starwood Capitol Group, as part of a portfolio of malls, for an aggregate purchase price for the portfolio of $1.4 billion.
In February 2016, Starwood Capitol Group announced a $50 million expansion of the mall, adding an additional 200,000 square feet.
