Almeda Mall
Almeda Mall is a shopping mall located in the Southeast Houston neighborhood of Genoa on Interstate 45. The mall opened in 1968, two weeks before its sister property, Northwest Mall. The malls were nearly twins of each other. There is one vacant anchor stores formerly occupied by Burlington and one anchor store currently under construction in the former Macy’s that is constructing a new retail development called The Market at Almeda. Junior anchors are dd's DISCOUNTS, and 3.6.5. The mall has 782,353 square feet (72,683.0 m2) in leasable space.
The Rouse Company of Baltimore, Maryland founded the subsidiary Almeda Mall, Inc. for the mall's development, beginning construction in the early 1960s on the anchors.
The Foley's anchor store opened first, as a standalone store, on October 3, 1966. Almeda Mall opened two years later, on October 10, 1968, with JCPenney as a second anchor store.
Almeda was the premiere mall for the area southeast of Houston until 1978 when Baybrook Mall opened a few exits south, much closer to the affluent Clear Lake/NASA area, quickly supplanting Almeda.
The mall decline further in the early 2000's, as major retailers began to open in nearby Pearland, including Pearland Town Center in 2008.
In 2006, the mall was about 95% occupied. During that year Glimcher Realty Trust put the mall up for sale, along with the Northwest Mall, which was purchased by WCF Mall Management, but then permanently closed in March 2017. JCPenney closed in 2006 and relocated to Pasadena, TX.
Burlington Coat Factory replaced the former JCPenney as an anchor.
In 2006, Foley's rebranded to Macy's after its acquisition by The May Department Stores Company the previous year.
