Northgate Mall, also called Northgate, is an enclosed shopping mall in the Chattanooga, Tennessee suburb of Hixson. Opened on March 15, 1972, it was the second mall built in Chattanooga.[1]

History

Northgate Mall was built in 1972 on land originally intended for a drive-in movie theater by a predecessor to CBL & Associates Properties (CBL), Arlen Shopping Center Group. The mall was considered the northside competition to now-defunct Eastgate Mall and is now considered a sister property of CBL's Hamilton Place Mall.[2][3][4] Northgate was later sold by Arlen, being renovated in 1991 and 1997, and eventually ended up with General Growth Properties (GGP) in 2000.[2] After expanding Northgate between 2005 and 2008, GGP sold the mall to CBL for $11.5 million in September 2011.[2][5]

A 14-screen movie theater, owned by Carmike Cinemas, opened in 2005.[2][6] A new food court was proposed to go in where the Book Gallery is located, but it was never built.[7]

On April 13, 2009, a woman was killed after her car crashed into the Sears building. The woman entered the Northgate Mall entrance from Highway 153. The vehicle jumped a curb and sped toward Sears, where it crashed into the southwest corner of the building. The crash left a 3 by 4 feet (0.91 by 1.22 m) hole in the wall of the shoe storage area of the department store.[8]

In early 2013, Northgate underwent a planned multimillion-dollar major renovation, including new flooring, ceiling and lighting upgrades, and repainting, which were completed by Christmas 2013. A 70,000 square feet (6,503.2 m2) associated center, which is located directly across from Northgate's main entrance and has T.J. Maxx and Catherines, acquired Ross Dress for Less, Michael's Arts & Crafts, and a brand-new facade in a related renovation, which was completed by the fall of 2013.[2][9]

In June 2013, Old Navy announced plans to move to Northgate.[10]

In January 2014, JC Penney announced plans to close their Northgate store in June. [11]
