AUDIT ROW #275 · BOUNDARY SIZE ONLY · OPENED MARCH 14, 1979 · ANOTHER CITY'S GROUND
The enclosed mall this town's people actually used stands at 6501 Grape Road, Mishawaka, and it is carried here at boundary size because its ground is another city's — the shopper's tie is the only tie Walkerton holds. University Park Mall opened on March 14, 1979, developed by the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation with George and Donald Cressy, at 964,051 square feet, with JCPenney, Sears, L.S. Ayres, and Hudson's and 105 specialty shops. Its course since is the standard enclosed-mall course: a food court added in 1996; Hudson's became Marshall Field's in 1997 and was demolished in 2007 for The Village, an open-air lifestyle addition opened in 2008; L.S. Ayres became Macy's in 2006; Sears closed in 2019; the surviving anchors are Barnes & Noble, JCPenney, and Macy's under Simon Property Group's ownership and management; the mall marked its forty-fifth anniversary on March 14, 2024. The county's second enclosed form of the era, Scottsdale Mall in South Bend (opened 1973), is the second boundary pointer and is not dug here. Everything beyond this entry — the mall's interior life, its tenancies, its local fights — belongs to the Mishawaka and South Bend builds, and this section claims none of it.
