Northgate Mall (San Rafael, California)

Northgate Mall (also known as the Terra Linda Shopping Center) is a shopping mall located in the Terra Linda neighborhood of San Rafael, California, United States, 15 miles (24 km) north of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is the largest of three shopping centers in San Rafael called Northgate. It was managed by The Macerich Company until 2017 and is now managed by Merlone Geier Partners. It is the only enclosed regional shopping center in Marin County.

The mall's anchors are Macy's and RH Outlet, with former anchors last occupied by Sears (RH Outlet partially occupies the former store's first floor) and Kohl's. It also features HomeGoods, a food court, and more than 90 specialty stores, services, and restaurants, including the sole remaining Gloria Jean's location in California. It formerly featured a Century Theatres multiplex that was shuttered in 2024 and a Rite Aid that was shuttered in 2025.

The original anchor in the corner, now occupied by Macy's, was The Emporium, which opened in 1964. When the rest of the mall opened in 1965, it had an open-air design. The mall was enclosed when it was renovated in 1987.

MTR Properties, Inc. was the original owner of the mall. Macerich bought the property in 1985 before selling it to Merlone Geier Partners in 2017.

On January 4, 2018, Sears announced that its store at the mall will be closing as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide. The store closed in April 2018. A portion of the first level of the former Sears is now occupied by RH Outlet. Around the same time, plans were announced that would transform the mall into a "town center."

On November 14, 2019, Forever 21 announced that the Northgate Mall location would be closing along with 21 other locations in California and 90 locations nationwide. It closed in January 2020.

The Century Theatres location in the mall opened on November 17, 1994, and closed on November 10, 2024.

On January 9, 2025, Kohl's announced it would close its Northgate Mall location as part of a plan to shutter 27 underperforming stores. Kohl's closed in late March 2025.
