History
The mall opened in 1962 with ZCMI, which became Meier & Frank in 2001 and Macy's in 2006. At the other end of the mall was a J.C. Penney. Other early tenants included an Albertsons supermarket and Woolworth.
Starting in the early 2000s, Cottonwood Mall suffered high vacancy rates. By 2004, the mall was approximately 25 percent vacant.
Future
General Growth Properties first announced plans to redevelop the mall in July 2007. A month later, the Holladay city council deemed the shopping mall blighted. General Growth tore down the mall in mid-2008 as the beginning of redevelopment. Original redevelopment plans called for a lifestyle center to be built around the existing Macy's store.
A TGI Friday's restaurant in the parking lot closed in March 2009. Redevelopment of the mall halted in 2009 when General Growth Properties filed for bankruptcy.
GGP was reformed after the bankruptcy and split into two entities. The Howard Hughes Corporation, one of the entities, took over the redevelopment of the mall. In 2014, rumors surfaced that Smith's Food and Drug would be opening a location on the property with a tenative opening in late 2016.
In 2017, Macy's announced it they would be closing the store located on the Cottonwood Mall property.
