History
The mall opened in 1976 as Burlington Square Mall. Its original anchor store was a Porteous department store, which later went out of business. An expansion in 1999 added the only Filene's (now Macy's) in Vermont.
General Growth Properties put the mall up for sale in 2013. In 2014, L. L. Bean announced that it would be opening a store in the mall.
In December 2013, Devonwood Investors, a development company led by managing partner Don Sinex, acquired the Town Center for $25 million. In November 2014, Sinex announced plans for a $200 million rebuilding of the mall, with new retail, office, and housing space, as well as a hotel and expanded parking facilities. By late 2016, Sinex and Devonwood had obtained private financing for the project, which had been split into two phases. In December, Sinex filed the majority of the permit applications for the $125 million first phase, which, subject to city approval, would build a 14-story tower on part of the property. Construction was to take place between July 2017 and January 2019, in time for the planned anchor tenant, the University of Vermont Medical Center, to take occupancy after the lease on its previous location expired.
